One of Our Rwandan Links-Connie


Connie Kamali is a Rwandan nurse who is working side by side with the HHNW nursing staff in the CCU at King Faisal Hospital. She moved back to Rwanda last November from Toronto, Canada. In December, she was hired as an ICU manager and is now about to work on organizing a step down unit for King Faisal's ICU. She came to ICU nursing after working with general surgery patients. She likes the challenge these patients require and gets a lot of satisfaction from helping them. Connie has learned to deal with the emotional toll these patients can have on her. It is her hope that she can contribute to King Faisal as she sets up the new unit. She loves nursing and helping others. It is also important to her that she is able to give back to Rwanda and is happy that it is a peaceful country again.
Connie is married and has 2 daughters ages 23 (studying business in Canada), 21 (studying management in India) and a 12 yr old son. She and her family are happy to be in Rwanda and to be near extended family. As you can see from her face, Connie has a most sincere and gentle spirit. HHNW is honored to have her working beside them.
