A NORMAL DAY AT THE OFFICE.

A NORMAL DAY AT THE OFFICE.

Health care is all about doctors and nurses – right? – Well only partially.

Up to 2011, health care within the Diocese was only succeeding in one unit. Since then several are turned around and are looking for much more. The catalyst for change has been the effective work of the office that has to liaise with the Government and a confusing mixture of independent organisations. In addition the office has to visit units to monitor  the management committees and staff. The challenges are huge with so many stake holders, endemic financial irregularities and a paucity of qualified staff.

The office boss is Paska Aciro who has a degree in Development studies and has huge integrity, tenacity, skill and charm. She is ably assisted by Maxwell - also a graduate.

The high performance of this team cannot be praised enough. We have had to let three people go because of poor performance.

One duty is to visit units that can be up to 80 km away on maram roads that are dusty in the dry season and flooded when wet leading to overturned vehicles. 

The Car We Hire

Oops!!

We are often asked to take some extra luggage like charcoal, vegetables  or  -----

If only one member is going a boda- motor cycle taxi  - is used. 80 kilometres is a long way in the rainy season -- Yes, there have been accidents.

We are very grateful to Paska and Maxwell for their dedicated and effective work.
