Countdown: 2 days till accreditation...

Two days to go until the official accreditation visit at the Ola During Children's Hospital. The last few weeks/months have been extremely busy in preparing for this visit. A team of three fellows from the West African College of Physicians arrive tomorrow to conduct the official visit on Monday and Tuesday. This is an exciting time. Accreditation of the hospital means that we can start training doctors in a postgraduate paediatric residency training programme!

The last few weeks have been busy with a variety of activities from setting up side laboratories to making sure bed nets are hung properly to fixing lights on the wards to getting cupboards made for the rehydration corner. It's been a productive time and we're hoping for success. Fingers crossed.
