After one week at Tenwek, here are some initial
impressions/observations:
- There has been a large influx of young recently graduated physicians and their families.
- The hospital and clinics have been transformed by the addition of an electronic medical record.
- There are more disciplines represented, but still a wonderful sense of community.
- There are visions for the future of this place that are very exciting!
A wonderful example is a young Kenyan family physician who
plans to pursue a residency in obstetrics and gynecology with the ultimate goal
of establishing an obstetric/gynecology residency program here at Tenwek.
These impressions/observations speak to very courageous
leadership and personal commitment both here and around the world. The issue is how do we encourage and partner
with this next generation of change?
