Latest Update from the Field
Bednets have saved lives! By Dave Hibbard, MD, Project Leader, August 16, 2008
Since this time last year, insecticide treated bed nets are now hanging over each bed in the Pediatric, Isolation, Maternity and Rehabilitation wards of Kisiizi Hospital in remote Southwest Uganda. The nurses who staff these wards at night report that they, the nurses, are no longer being bitten by mosquitos at night, just by having these bed nets in place. The insecticide chemicals provide a barrier to mosquitos extending out about 15 feet ! We now need to get bed nets for the 6 other wards of the hospital and for the families of the Kisiizi Hospital staff. Your donations can save lives. Please help us.
