Woo hoo! After what seemed like an endless wait, we finally have internet access at Nata Clinic. Pictured above is Nurse Midwife Charity (from Zimbabwe) looking up something on the internet. Officially only the Sr. Nurse, Doctor, and Pharmacist have log in privileges but we hope that privilege will soon extend to other staff members. We're told it's just a matter of registering at our sub-ditrict. It's such a great way for staff to update themselves on medical conditions and treatments. Key personnel are now able to email reports and requests to our sub-district which is 120 miles away in Tutume. Everyone is so happy to be connected to the outside world. We are so lucky here in Botswana. Having internet in a rural clinic is only a dream for many African nations.
This is fantastic. I love this blog and look forward to reading it more :)

Oh my goodness, that's my mother right there, Charity Mukunga. Am so proud of you Mum and really proud of all the improvements taking place in Botswana everyday. Hope the internet will help you find ideas quicker and share information with the rest of the world. Well done Nata Clinic, well done Botswana, keep up the great work.
