Days 10 & 11 - Kigali, Rwanda; King Faisal Hospital

Two more days of ACLS training - 28 successful candidates.  It has been a good trip and the new skills learned by the staff will improve healthcare delivery.

Thankful for the local instructors and HRH staff.

Days 4 & 5 - Kigali, Rwanda - ACLS at King Faisal Hospital

Linda Bell, Cindy Colgan, and I traveled to Kigali, Rwanda to train hospital personnel in Advance Cardiac Life Support [ACLS] through the International American Heart Association.  Linda Bell & Consultant Services is the AHA training center providing the coordination and equipment.  The project was organized by Global Engagement Institute [GEI], Rwanda Ministry of Health and King Faisal Hospital.  The goal is to provide a center of excellence in health care.



We were provided assistance by several local Human Resources of Health [HRH] staff.  Our first class hosted 26 participants eager to learn and enhance knowledge in cardiac resuscitation for improvement of patient care.

 
 





 

Even Doc McStuffins joined me in this adventure and training session.
