Ok so the work begins, exams over and now we can begin having meetings writing letters, meeting with government officials, medical officials and all sorts.
It's good to keep reminding myself this is not my ministry or OM's ministry, but Gods. As the current only registered nurse here a lot of the work to register the clinic is falling on me! This is quite exciting/scary (especially as the nurses on Ansty will know! Documentation for me must be brief and accurate and that's about it! Nothing more than about 5 lines and I used to always get in trouble for not writing enough). Last week I met with the district officer and gave him a letter outlining the ministry.
OM had previously pursued registering the boat as a clinic; this we feel is not viable and so are registering a small clinic on the OM base at Lake T. Our plot is next to the water but also the large government clinic. We plan to run an eye clinic every Thursday from the clinic and to use it the rest of the time as the office for the mobile clinics along the lake shores. This means we won't be competing with the government clinic or inundated as word of mouth gets out that a new clinic is in town.
Today I met with the nursing council and health professions council to register the clinic. I'm meeting with the health professions council again tomorrow with the inspectors to chat through what the clinic needs in terms of facilities to pass the assessment. Then next week I will try and source some medical supplies to use on some of the upcoming medical outreaches.
A few prayer requests
· The equipping of the clinic/ structural work to be ready by august.
· Good meetings with government officials and speedy processing.
· For me to remain spiritually and physically strong.
· Teamwork and unity.
