An Observer in the OR

In January we were joined for a few days by Justus Kakuru. Justus, who is the nephew of one of our local partners in Kyotera, is a medical student in his last year before residency.

During his time with us Justus served as a translator and scribe. His knowledge of local dialects, Ugandan culture, and medical terminology proved an invaluable asset to the GMAST team.

Justus took full advantage of his opportunity to observe cleft operations and learn from our doctors. Teaching and education are integral to our mission.
