I love MILDMAY!

Things are going great- training is speeding by! As part of our training we take field trips to various health organizations- Wednesday we went to the Mildmay Centre Uganda, which is managed by Mildmay International (based in the UK). Mildmay is the most awesome place ever! It’s a full-service HIV/AIDS care provider, plus they do tons of workshops and training for healthcare professionals. They have mobile teams that do outreach, treatment, and palliative care, and they also have lots of different clubs for kids dealing with AIDS. They have women’s groups that get together to do income-generating craft activities, and, they have a laboratory that actually looks like a laboratory! This place was light-years ahead of all of the other health facilities I have seen thus far- I was seriously impressed! Everything was so organized, so practical, so user-friendly, it was amazing! The people that showed us around were super nice, and we also got to talk to a really great doctor about issues surrounding palliative care. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the best health care center in Uganda. YAY Mildmay!
