Beit CURE Hospital Expands Operating Theatre
Outside the operating theatre at Beit CURE Hospital.
When you walk around the Beit CURE Hospital, the one thing that goes through your mind is that this place is constantly buzzing. Children playing, recovering patients going for walks, mothers and fathers chatting with their kids, and staff running from building to building. The one thing that stands out, however, is the construction taking place at the north end of the hospital. The operating theatre at Beit CURE Hospital is in the process of being renovated and expanded to accommodate the increase in the amount of patients coming to Beit CURE for surgery.
On my long return trip, over the course of two weeks, I was to go to Kijabe and the CURE hospital there for one week and then bus to Uganda and Mbale’s CURE hospital for my final few days there prior to flying out of Entebbe, Uganda. While in Kijabe, I organised with Pastor Amandui, my colleague there in collecting stories, to go and see a child named David. We had visited him once before at the New Hope Children’s Center, an orphanage in Limuru, about 13 miles from Kijabe. He was taken in there along with his mother after some serious bouts of violence across Kenya (following the elections in 2008) that left him without a father and two brothers.
