This week in Tanga, we were able to meet our heatlh partnership goal of achieving a cooperative strategic plan with St. Raphael's. The most impressive part of St. Raphaels is the administrative team. The team is a reflection of Dr. Damein Mpundu's adminstrative capabilities. All member of the team have a clear vision for growth and share a passion for providing care to the citizens of Korogwe, Tanzanzia.
The hospital team would like to improve patient care by expanding equip\ment resources, clinic services and improving educational resources for staff and its new nursing school. However, inadequate water and electric sources, are the primary impediments to improving care. Currrently water is carried from to individual buildings, and electric supply from the power company is unreliable. In partnership with the leadership team of St. Raphaels, we were able to complete a strategic plan for moving forward in 2011-2012. It was a week full of learning opportunities and shared campanionship. I am excited about the potential opportunites for growth for both the Ohio and Tanga Diocese.
