The hospital plays a key role in providing medical care to the people of the Nuba Mountains and the entire South Kordofan region.<\/p>\n<p>After the morning greeting of all employees, the service handover and the obligatory prayer, everyone started in their work areas. I took rounds on the ward, in the emergency room or the mother and child clinic, supported by nursing staff and trainees to interpret in Sudanese Arabic. During bedside teaching, I practiced examination techniques with our staff and trainees on patients, discussed medical histories, and counseled patients and family members on health promotion and prevention topics.<\/p>\n<p>Giving advice, asking for advice or professional exchange were naturally part of everyday work. I then reviewed laboratory results and cared for patients who appeared for follow-up and emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>After the lunch break, further progress and laboratory checks followed. The workload was also determined by rainy or dry periods, so that occasionally new admissions had to be supplied until the evening hours. In addition to clinical work, the team provided weekly staff training, on-call services, and organized all necessary steps to facilitate clinic and project operations. You become an all-rounder in many respects and help out where you can.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;113129&#8243;]My spare time at the project:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;866905&#8243;]I spent my free time gardening in the compound and together with my colleagues in the spacious, shared &#8220;compound flat&#8221;, where we cooked and lived together.
