It's hard to believe that we're only a week away from departure. There seems to be so much yet to do. I caught up with Dr. Haglund outside the OR this morning and he showed me this small filter. It may not seem like much - it doesn't cost more than a few dollars - but it's a critical component to a ventilator. Without a filter, a ventilator is useless. Most of the ventilators at the New Mulago hosptial in Kampala have been sidelined because they lack filters. You can bet there will be plenty of these among the six tons of supplies that will be leaving shortly!
