Nurse Jacky, and the KCA Clinic

You just have to meet Nurse Jacky.



I first met her when I went to Uganda, back in June. Jacky has single-handedly changed the healthcare of our kids at the school. Her recent donation of an exam table, cabinet, etc., turned our spare room into a clinic. The work of one person...that is how our clinic was born! These photos show you how all this work is starting...



Jackie has also taken to giving home visits. "This has helped the parents have more confidence in what is being done for the kids at school in the clinic and they are grateful for the medication and the treatment for their wounds etc.," says Jacky "Often other neighbours come with their own little problems too. Sometimes over the weekends I have done dressings sitting outside their homes on the dirt! Very sterile I must say."

On clinic days, the children line up to see Nurse Jacky. And since she is a wound specialist, she is able to prevent infections before they start.

thank you, Jacky, for the work that you do. I hope you are sleeping soundly somewhere tonight.
