After learning about our post acute care initiative in Ethiopia, Sam sought to establish a hospital and university in the eastern Manafwa District of Uganda, beginning by selecting local students to begin their nursing training. Kissito is sponsoring two Ugandan students at the Lyceum-St. Cabrini College of Allied Medicine, a Kissito affiliated university in the Philippines. Additional students will receive training at the Morris Cerullo Kamashi Teaching Hospital and University in Ethiopia when it opens in 2010.
As Kissito completes the Ethiopian hospital the knowledge, personnel, and construction equipment will be used to develop the development of the Bugobelo project. Sam and Kissito are currently seeking support for the actual construction which is expected to commence in 2010.
