Status update (Post 5)

Hello all!

The machines that we repaired include microscopes, centrifuges, ultrasound machines, oxygen concentrators, sterilizers, surgery lights, and a physical therapy bike. I worked very closely with two individuals (Alieu and Saikou) who are currently the hospitals electronics specialists (electricians). They are keen to become biomedical engineers or technicians, so this is a great opportunity for them. The next step will be to continue to repair any equipment that the departments may find, and mainly proceed to train and educate these two individuals about what we have done and general biomedical concepts. I have also agreed to run IT workshops with any interested staff member so that they are able to use a computer.




Fixing a faulty autoclave.








Best,
