Kijabe PAACS Anesthesiology senior residents, Drs. Rebecca Dufe and Eunice Kageha completed their first away rotations at Kibuye Hope Hospital, Burundi. During this time, they engaged in teaching surgery residents, supervised care, and helped design a quality improvement project.

“We're the showstoppers. If a machine isn't calibrated or safety checks aren't done, we risk endangering children. This is why our work is important." 🙌 Jesse Biwott, Biomedical Engineer @ @KijabeHospital where KidsOR installed 3 paediatric Operating Rooms last year. 💙

It is a joy to serve beyond our walls. We had the privilege to partner with Gilgil Sub-County @MOH_Kenya & @FriendsofKijabe to provide eye care, diabetes & hypertension screening to residents around Ngecho and its environs.

At anesthesia conferences I hear a lot of talk about increasing the clinical workforce in Africa. I think we need to shift the conversation to increasing the educational workforce. We must find gifted educators and encourage, mentor and incentivize them to teach.

Saddened to say that we are leaving our full-time work life & here in Kenya to return to the US to take care of family health issues. Not sure how long this chapter will last, but incredibly grateful to all the amazing folks I've been able to work with. Y'all are the best.

Thank you Dr  Evelyn for serving with us! Proud of your over 10 years journey! Having begun as an MO intern, you made significant steps along the way, had many firsts and grew to not only head Graduate Medical Division but also Clinical Services Division as you exited.
