Engineering World Health Summer Institute by the numbers: ? 24 students from 7 countries returned 269 pieces of critical medical equipment to service across 34 health facilities throughout Uganda ? This summer, I've been training and practicing alongside this incredible team. I spent the month of July at Kiboga Hospital, an under-resourced facility without a dedicated technician or engineer. We worked on everything from oxygen concentrators to ACs to wheelchairs...but here's what the highlight reel won't show you: the work we did is only the tip of the iceberg. There were issues that stumped us, spare parts that were impossibly expensive to justify, and improvised fixes that unfortunately won't be sustainable for the long run. I'm deeply humbled by my continuing work with EWH, and have a long list of people to be grateful to for making this happen.
What an amazing experience and mission. Great job!
You are amazing, Jolie!
