We caught Chancellor Victor Dzau thanking physician assistant Senthil Radhakrishnan for volunteering to join more than 20 others from Duke on a medical mission to Uganda. The group leaves tomorrow, taking nine tons of new and surplus medical equipment from Duke University Hospital to New Mulago Hospital in Kampala. Dzau called the mission "inspirational" and a tribute to Duke's commitment to global health and the Duke Global Health Institute. There's a lot of work ahead: A Ugandan surgeon told us that 270 people from 70 families were already lined up outside the hospital hoping to register for surgery.
