UK nursing team visit
Pearl Wight and her nursing colleague Sally Bambridge, both from Arran Memorial Hospital on the island of Arran, Scotland visited the region for a 5-week period in October 2008.
As well as bringing in medic
al supplies to the Baruwa health out-post,
they undertook a number of health camps in villages throughout the region.
The clinics were fast and frenetic, with Pearl and Sally seeing up to a hundred patients between them on certain days.
Their experience was invaluable not just in seeing at first hand the lack of services available but also in helping to gain insight into
the health needs of
the population.
