Not too long back we hosted a very nice Dr. and his son on a walking safari.  Tim, who works at a hospital in the UK brought a great bag of surgical instruments for us to distribute.

In the states and most first world countries these instruments are these days disposable - A sad commentary  when so much of the rest of world go without these critical tools for health care.   After boiling all the instruments for a good half hour we gave a large set to the Mpala Health Outreach Clinic pictured below.   The mobile clinic helps people in our area who have no access to proper health care as well as HIV/Aids education and Family planning.  You can read more about the clinic below:
