Government promises support in the future

rs. Today we had the visit of several Government officials in connection with the cholera outbreak, that we realized a couple of days ago and which we also immediately reported to the Health Ministry. Among the guests were the Secretary of the Parliament Dr. James Nyikal as well as Dr. John Odondi of the Province Ministry of Health and Dr. Nyakiba, the District Minister of Health. Our two doctors Wanjara and John proudly showed them our hospital and all guests were very impressed with what they saw and with what we have done for our patients, our staff and the refugees in the camp. Dr. Nyikal thanked as many times and promised full support of the Government in the future. The above picture shows Mr. Nyikal greeting Ruth Schäfer, director of the Rhein-Valley Hospital at the end of today's meeting.
