Theresia and Christina

For the past month, Dr. Theresia Edward and nurse Christina Saria from the Burn Unit at KCMC hospital have been part of the Burn Unit at the MCM hospital in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia 🔥 Here they have gained lots of new knowledge and new experiences, which they can take home with them to Tanzania.

“I have gained greater insight into how to best change bandages and which types of antibiotics are essential to have in the ward. At the MCM hospital in Addis Ababa, they have a dedicated room for dressing changes. I want to implement that at KCMC. Every week I have thought, I want to learn more.” (nurse Christina Saria)

“I have been involved in many and long burn operations. It has been a really good experience where I have learned how to do more advanced skin grafts. For me, it is important to focus both on the treatment of and the actual outcome for the patients, as well as learn how we can improve the treatment at KCMC. I feel inspired and motivated.” (surgeon Theresia Edward)
