Last night at 7:15 pm the OR group completed their 16th and final surgery of this mission trip. They spent a total of 96.25 hours in the OR over the eight days of surgery,or slightly more than 12 hours each day. The shortest day was 9.5 hours, the longest was 16 hours.
Everyone (that wasn't working) met for a dinner put on by the Minister of Health last night. Staff from KFH attended also. There were many great speeches by KFH leaders, Dr. Goldberg, and the Minister of Health.It was a wonderful time to reflect on why we came to Rwanda.

  1. Congratulations on a great trip! You have touched so many lives and I am sure that some you have not even come in direct contact with! Safe travels back home!
