Meet The Nurse Who Wheeled her Patient for 5km to A Hospital
Dorris wheels her patient to the Hospital in Arua District accompanied by a care taker For a long time now, Nurses and Midwives in Uganda have worked in low resource health facilities, and done so fairly well. Part of their success in these settings & key determinant is their willingness and ability to quickly adapt, innovate and recover. It is an admirable on-to the next one attitude. They have learned to use meager resources wisely, save essential medicines, care for and save as many lives as possible, even under tasking conditions such as, low pay, long work hours, lack of adequate Personal Protective Equipment, and lack of advanced technology. Uganda's Nurses and Midwives make up 70% of the health work force, each and every one of those has done something sacrificial that only they or their patients know. We are lucky in a way to be able to share in Dorris’ sacrifice, because it reminds us of those Nurses and Midwives that have gone above & beyond their duty
