The Health Unit goes out on field visits every Tuesday morning. We get a motor pool vehicle and hit the road to explore local community health resources. I always want to visit our nearest hospital and imaging facility, check out dentists and pediatricians. In my past 7 weeks we have pretty much covered the basics so this week we decided to drive out to Balbala, a "suburb" of Djiboutiville and visit Al Rahma - an Egyptian hospital. The hospital was great - very clean and modern and impressive.
The drive out to Balbala was so stark...I just wanted to take pictures the whole time. Its only about a 30 minute drive but ohh so different then "downtown Djiboutiville".
