Providing and Educating in Kigali, Rwanda with Team Heart: A goal for independent practice, Part 2

Teaching proper central line placement
The ultimate goal of Team Heart is independent cardiac surgical care in Rwanda where currently there is not the facility or resources. To reach this goal there needs to be providers in Rwanda that are trained in cardiac surgery, cardiac anesthesia, cardiac nursing, and perfusion. On the anesthesia side, we had a senior resident from the University of Kigali who worked with us throughout the trip. She had never been exposed to cardiac anesthesia before but she jumped right in with enthusiasm and determination. Arterial lines, the first step to any cardiac anesthetic, was not something that she had ever done before and had only read about. This was the same with the cardiopulmonary bypass machine. Each day she progressed significantly and the steps of a cardiac anesthetic became more clear to her. Ultimately her goal is to apply for a pediatric ICU fellowship. She told me she would have to go to Kenya for this advanced training as there are not many fellowship positions in Rwanda at this time and specifically none in pediatric ICU. For cardiac, she told me she would have to travel to South Africa as this is one of the only places that trains cardiac anesthesiologists. It is the same on the surgical side, where only one Rwandan surgical resident has traveled to South Africa for training. He currently has 3-4 years left in his fellowship and hopefully another resident from Rwanda will be accepted into the program. Opportunities are very scarce yet all the residents had great attitudes about their future career goals. The anesthesia residency in Kigali has been expanding each year and currently they have 10 residents in each class. With the expansion of the residency there has been planning for future implementation of fellowship training which will hopefully include cardiac anesthesia. This would be a big step in allowing for Team Heart as an organization to reach their ultimate goal of bringing sustainable cardiac care to Rwanda.

  1. Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured 2 months ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by herbalist Razor but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try herbalist Razor then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after 18 days of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication for 18 days and went for check up after completion of the dosage, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 1 month to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer to reach him also through his email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com or whatsapp or call hiom also on +2349065420442
