For the second week of the mission we moved to Ain Shams University Hospital in Cairo. Our first day was spent screening patients: out of the many children who presented, we had to decide who would benefit from surgery now vs. later, and who was healthy enough for surgery now. It's a complicated process and made for a long, but interesting, day. Here's a photo of Carole Hart, the team pediatrician, discussing a plan with house staff, patient and parents.
This plaque used to say that the clinic was a gift from Suzanne Mubarak.
We finished clinic fairly early, time for a quick trip to the pyramids. We were too late to go out on the desert and get close to them, but I had a nice Turkish coffee and took a picture.
