"Waiting list have fallen and resources have grown, yet the staff and the public are still unhappy with the NHS"

(British Medical Journal, 19th May 2007 vol 334)

In February 2007 I had the incredible privilege of visiting Meru District General Hospital in Northern Kenya. It has changed my perspective in realising just how much I take for granted - particularly as I work in the hospital environment in an ever growing complaints culture.

I am revisiting the hospital in April 2008 alongside a team of health and housing colleagues from Perth and Kinross. Each team member will spend time sharing knowledge and skills in each clinical area.

The project aims are to:

·         Form lasting links that will mutually benefit global health and housing issues in Perth and Kinross and Northern Kenya

·         Fundraise for the building of an A&E department and support the development of primary/secondary care healthcare systems to improve patient flow.

·         Fundraise for essential hospital equipment – (CT scanners, patient monitors, IT equipment)

·         Share knowledge and skills of best practise in health and housing.

Whatever is donated via this website will be given directly to the Kenyan people without any intermediate agencies.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. The project will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
