WANTED: VOLUNTEERS

EXPERIENCED ENGINEERS TO TEACH PRACTICAL MAINTENANCE AND PPM AT:
KYAMBOGO UNIVERSITY, KAMPALA, UGANDA
  • Flights & Accommodation paid + small living allowance
  • Minimum commitment 1 week, however 2 weeks preferred

There is an acute shortage of trained medical engineers in most countries, in Africa most hospitals have large quantities of equipment that does not work - but could work with a little attention.


This new course, run by Kyambogo University and partly sponsored by The Amalthea Trust, will train 20 x engineers a year and will go a long way to ultimately solving the equipment maintenance problems; not just in Uganda but other English speaking countries in Africa - meaning more operations and care can be provided, thus saving lives. Trauma is the single biggest killer in Africa.
