Some Hospital Photos

This is the road to JTH which we make twice a day. (This is the main hospital gate just coming up at that white sign post)


Here are some of the hospital buildings. Each ward is in a seperate building so it's more spread out than our hospitals.



This is looking back at the main gate from inside the compound.


Some more wards...



And finally a rather nice lizard I found on the way home this evening.


I hope these put you in the picture a little more about the place. The climate is hot and humid, but generally sunny and the country around is very green. I recall the Indian Monsoon being far more humid and generally unpleasant so all in all it's pretty good.

Dave and I had a very positive meeting yesterday with our bosses here to plan out what we aim to do and what they'd like of us, and luckily the two were pretty congruent. We're pretty excited about the opportunities here, but more of this at a later date. Needless to say they were very welcoming and supportive and it looks like we should have a really useful time here.

Bye for now

James

Take care
