Third week of August was exciting with a change of pace!! I had learned the week before of a planned visit by a team of executives from GE Health to assess and review the installation and utilization of medical equipments that were donated in the past, to have an inauguration party and to assess a few more sites for future donations.
Monday I met with the assessment team and planned for a reception and inauguration party to receive the GE Foundation executives.
I worked with my counterpart and other hospital staff on putting together a pp presentation highlighting the services and statistics from the hospital, highlighting local and global partners, reviewing some of the equipments donated by GE and success stories from the field.
The reception was a great success complete with a secondary school drummers and cow dancers; the attendance of all district officials including the mayor, vice mayor for social development and health, representative from the local police and defense forces!!
The GE team was taken on a tour of the hospital grounds and got to see the impact of the modern equipment in action. The equipment the hospital received empowers health providers and is saving lives. A list of equipments includes patient monitoring systems, infant warmers and incubators, radiology modalities, lab equipments as well as anesthesia workstation!!
The GE team seemed to be pleased with the tour and the visit and were most impressed by the accountability and professionalism of the staff. The GE personnel noted how all donated equipments were accounted for during their visit and promised to provide further support through training and maintenance.
I'm also glad to announce that the team's trip was a success that GE Foundation is committing another $300,000 in equipments to support health centers and hospitals around Rwanda.
