SOS Stakeholders and Local Leaders visit Lwala Hospital

On the 15th January, 2010 a team of stakeholders led by Dr. Abbas Kakembo, who is the Head of the Sleeping sickness control program within the Ministry of Health working very closely with the SOS stakeholders, took time to tour Lwala hospital and visit all the patients.

Even if a large number of cases were late stage and thus not recently infected, the resurgence in admitted patients and the large number of young people among these patients warranted renewed focus on the efforts to control sleeping sickness in the Dokolo and Kaberamaido areas.
