We had another wonderful day out in the world. First, we went to Mulago and did rounds on the Infectious Disease Ward. Then, we traveled to Ensambia Hospital and the Diabetes group gave a wonderful presentation to a bunch of physicians and professors. Lastly, we traveled to the Veterinary Pathology Lab and toured the Small Animals Clinic at Makerere University. We've spent the evening having fun and working on our presentations for Friday.
Though we don't have a written post for today, here are some pictures taken by the lovely and talented Professor Dr. Becky Hoye. They're pretty out of order, but I hope you all enjoy them nonetheless! More pictures and stories tomorrow.
Best wishes,
PIGH
