Bonjour!
Just another work update from Cameroon. This is Day 7 of 52 for me out here in Cameroon. So far we have been adjusting to the time, temperatures, and lifestyle here in the town of Ahala (section of town where the hospital is located). We have been getting a sense of how the hospital works by observing the different services offered here. There has been a lot of meet & greet, and remembering (and/or pronouncing) everyone’s name is a challenge for me. I have met all of the key hospital staff so far, we have toured most of the areas, and now we are settling in for our first week of heavy-duty work. We have taken a teaching/consulting role here at the hospital for the time being; our task is to train their new hospital administrative staff. Time to put that MBA to good use! We will be rounding with the new CMO every morning and have regular meetings with the administrative staff. It’s all very exciting, as we are charged with building the hospital from the ground up (figuratively).
Au revoir.
