Like many parts of the country, Nwoya district had shortages in PPE. This contributed to covid 19 infections among staff while on duty. Unfortunately, one of our midwives succumbed to Covid 19. At such a critical time, the Nursing and Midwifery leaders across the country contributed, procured, and supplied PPEs to Anaka hospital. This was a stitch in time. As the leadership of Nwoya district, we are immensely grateful for the support from the Nursing and Midwifery Leaders Think Tank to Anaka Hospital. Our nurses and midwives can now work comfortably with the appropriate PPE and less fear of getting infected. We still urge the government to supply us with more PPE.
