Friday Medical Clinic
















Hallelujah! God blessed us with another great and final day in Ogosoi. We arrived to the village with hundreds of people waiting to be treated at the medical clinic. God gave us the energy, patience and strength we needed to end our session In the village. More rounds of temperatures and blood pressures were taken, and plenty of pills were distributed again. Several children were put on IVs for severe malaria and thousands of HIV tests were given. 

Dr. Bartha saw what seemed like an endless number of patients. Just like yesterday, the Ugandans were thrilled to be seen by a Mzungu doctor. Our team is truly blessed to have Dr. Bartha on our team! He is a superstar! 

Richard, Pastor Rob and many others spent all day distributing mosquito nets in the hot back corner of the church. What a hot commodity! In the past arguments, spats and even fights have broken out due to mosquito nets. Luckily tantrums were less this years past, however it was quite chaotic. The Translators were very much needed when passing out the nets, and we were so thankful to have them help! 

At the end of the two day medical clinic, the mission team, along with lots of help from our Ugandan team, served over 2,000 people, filled roughly 6,000 prescriptions and distributed about 3700 mosquito nets.

As the Ugandan children chant, "GOD IS GOOD... ALL THE TIME... ALL THE TIME... GOD IS GOOD!
