The second largest country of Africa, full of paradoxes. On one hand, it is rich in natural resources (including cobalt, copper, coltan, crude oil, diamonds, gold); on the other hand, its inhabitants are among the poorest in the world.

The new portable ultrasound machine you funded, which arrived from Poland, works wonderfully. It allows our doctors to more accurately diagnose serious health problems in patients, including heart defects in small children. News of modern therapies at our hospital in Ntamugenga is spreading fast, so we are receiving young patients from increasingly remote villages and towns.
We urgently need another doctor who can work with this equipment. Our wonderful Dr Augustyn has already undergone 2 months of training in Goma, with the best ultrasound specialist in North Kivu, but he needs professional training at a European level.
A great opportunity for him is a course organised by doctors from the French Ecole d’Échographie Sans Frontières, which ends with an exam at the embassy and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound.
Dr Augustyn has already passed the pre-qualification, the only barrier being the cost of the training – over €1,000. We have launched a fundraiser on our homepage just for this purpose and we strongly encourage you to invest in Dr Augustyn’s education.
Every cent spent on the doctor’s education will pay off a hundredfold, as it will bring Dr Augustyn closer to acquiring life-saving skills!
