This blog will document our experiences as we spend 6 months at St Francis' Hospital in Katete, Eastern Province, Zambia. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if there are other things you would like us to talk about! Be warned that some content is distressing.

Pulse oximeter
I have just been to collect the pulse oximeter we are taking out for the hospital, courtesy of Lifebox and Smiletrain. This piece of incredibly simple kit (its a small box with a screen and a finger tip probe) will hopefully improve the safety of anaesthesia in St Francis' by monitoring oxygen levels in patients' blood.
Now I have finished work it is all becoming rather close, and the pile of stuff we are taking out is getting larger. I'm in the process of packing up the flat and heading home to Newcastle for a visit, before departure on 15th August.
