Mission au Burundi à Ijenda, les premiers jours...
Notre premier jour :
Départ de Zaventem vers 10,40 h. et arrivée à Bujumbura à 19.40 h. heure locale.
Nous sommes attendus par la religieuse responsable de l'hôpital de Ijenda. Bujumbura est une ville dynamique, le trafic y est intense et il y fait très chaud. La Soeur nous conduit à l'hôtel où nous passons la nuit et où nous avons rencontré le responsable de Handicap International.

Tout est improvisé ...
Etant donné que notre équipe à Gitega au Burundi n'avait pas la possibilité de communiquer via un blog, nous en avons fait un pour eux sur lequel nous avons repris les phrases les plus frappantes de leur rapport ainsi que leurs plus belles photos.
Le team a pratiqué 24 interventions orthopédiques sur principalement des enfants. Pendant les 51 consultations, notre personnel a constitué un dossier par patient de manière être certain que ces derniers seraient mieux suivis après leur opération.
Voici le commentaire que Patrick a fait sur le centre pour handicapés de Makamba : tout est improvisé...
L'équipe a constaté que des enfants atteints d'une paralysie cérébrale dépérissaient.

Missie Burundi Ijenda, de eerste dagen..
Onze eerste dag:
Vertrek in Zaventem om 10u40 en aankomst in Bujumbura 19u40 lokale tijd. We werden opgewacht door de verantwoordelijke zuster van het ziekenhuis te Ijenda. Bujumbura is een bedrijvige stad, druk verkeer en zeer warm. De zuster bracht ons naar het hotel om te overnachten en we hadden er een ontmoeting met de verantwoordelijke van Handicap International.

Information about this hopital
Description
The hospital has 160 beds (the hospital and maternity unit are in separate buildings). The maternity unit has an occupancy level of 100% and the hospital 50%. There is one doctor, Pamphile Ndayirukye, who has a lot of experience in gynaecology (he has done a work placement in this field). There are also 14 nurses and 10 blue-collar workers. 30% of the patients are indigenous.
The hospital does not receive any government support or any support from other NGOs. Here are some of the problems which require assistance from MWV: talipes, harelips, laboratory, nursing care, hospital management (financial and staff management), and ophthalmology. They could certainly recruit plenty of cases by issuing a radio statement. There is already a partnership with Ex-Change and perhaps there will also be one with Energy Assistance in the near future. The Annonciaden nuns, who organise and follow up our missions enthusiastically and consciencously are a pleasant point of contact.
Results of the missions
The assessment mission has give a good report on the partnership: according to the norms of the country, it is a well-run hospital which, as a private hospital, has been integrated into the official Burundian health system. The partnership with MWV has been very good and deserves to be extended, for example, by 1 extra mission a year for orthopaedics and 1 extra mission for gynaecology.Ljenda is a centre where missions in the fields of plastic surgery and orthopaedics prove to be particularly successful because of the transparent organisation, the enthusiasm of the doctor and management, and the nursing staff who are in need of in-service training. The volunteers are extremely faithful (the same teams usually return with no changes) so that sometimes a preference is given for postponing a mission rather than enforcing the selection of a new team.
Missions with teams which know the partner run much more efficiently on both sides: the teams know where to find everything and how everything operates, whilst the local partner knows what the team expects of them: this means a win-win situation. The TV coverage of the plastic surgery mission in Ijenda has proved that the population has greater access. This also inspires more confidence on the part of the population. In 2007, Ex-change will try to provide a team to cover hospital management, in accordance with our partnership.
In view of the limits of this project (1 doctor and a high staff turnover amongst the nurses), we only expect to intensify the missions in gynaecology. Furthermore, in view of the fact that the manageress is working on her own at present and it is not certain that she will be given any help means we are cautious about pressing ahead too quickly and risking overloading our partner.
