Nzega Hospital 2019 Update

For the past year, at the request of the Nzega District Chairman Honourable Michael, FUM and our colleagues at FON have focused on supporting the training of key medical staff. This includes nurses from the locality who could otherwise not afford the fees.

In 2018 we helped nurse Alexander Revocatus upgrade from the basic level to the prestigious Diploma level. In July he returned to Nzega Hospital and is now the Senior Theatre Nurse.

For two years we supported six nurses through their basic training and they recently started on the Diploma course.

Other support has gone to Dr Amos Petro for an advanced Radiography course, and Dr Mary Mkamwa for an advanced Dermatological course.

FUM only supports training for individuals where they cannot afford the full course fees and when their new skills will directly benefit the people of Nzega. Our constitution does not allow support purely for the personal advancement of an individual.
