Today (27th February) we undertook our first long distance journey in Uganda. We travelled from Kampala to Jinja. It was a 2 1/2 hour journey which was as terrifying as it was beautiful. Looking forward you saw on-coming traffic, swerving in only to avoid on rushing cars momentarily before swerving back and onto the wrong side of the road. However turning your eyes 90 degrees you we transported into the most beautiful and lush green surrounding you will ever see. The trip was beautiful and we arrived safely.
On arrival in Jinja, we had a tour around the hospital which showed us the triage area, emergency department, and wards which were all extremely busy and filled with children who were so sick, they would be receiving the highest possible level of care in the UK. We were introduced to a friendly and helpful staff and look forward to meeting and working with many others in the next few months.
