  • African Mission Annual Report 2018-2019
    African Mission Annual Report 2018-2019 1 The Aim of African Mission is “To fight disease and poverty in Africa by supporting educational & medical projects”. Background: African Mission was started in 2003 to support the work of Dr Ray Towey MB ChB FRCA. Dr Towey left his post as a Consultant Anaesthetist in Guys Hospital, London to work in Africa and since 1993 has dedicated his life to the improvement of health care for the poor in Africa. He has worked as an Anaesthetist in rural hospitals in Nigeria and Tanzania and since 2002 in St Mary’s Hospital, Gulu, Uganda. Dr. Towey has been in Uganda for 17 years and has been involved in the training of anaesthetic officers, nurses, and medical students over that time. He is now a part time volunteer and is focusing in the development of the intensive care ward, measuring the outcomes of specific diseases amenable to intensive care in rural Africa, sustaining the equipment for respiratory support, working to improve intensive care nursing and researching the data to indicate the effectiveness and sustainability of appropriate inexpensive intensive care in rural sub-Saharan Africa. In July 2009 following a visit to Zimbabwe by Nannette & Dr Towey, African Mission decided to expand its work to include supporting projects based in Zimbabwe. The main Zimbabwean project supported is Fatima Mission. Fatima Mission is a very large mission (600 sq miles in size) based in rural Zimbabwe, approximately 130 miles north of Bulawayo and a similar distance south of Victoria Falls. Practically everyone living within Fatima Mission’s boundaries are poor subsistence farmers.

Nel 1959, nella savana del nord Uganda, i Missionari Comboniani fondano, per conto della Diocesi di Gulu, un piccolo ospedale missionario. In 50 anni, l’ospe- dale è stato trasformato in un grande polo ospedaliero ed è oggi sinonimo di speranza per centinaia di migliaia di persone che ogni anno vi arrivano, anche da molto lontano. Questo è stato possibile grazie all’ispirazione, al lavoro e alla tenacia di due medici, i coniugi Piero e Lucille Corti, che per oltre trent’anni han- no sviluppato l’ospedale, e ai molti colleghi italiani e ugandesi che a loro si sono affiancati e succeduti, nonostante le sfide imposte da un trentennio di guerre, di povertà estrema e terribili epidemie.

  • The Teasdale-Corti Global Health Research Partnership Program
    Building Capacity and Transferring Knowledge: The Teasdale-Corti Global Health Research Partnership Program Drs Lucille Teasdale and Piero Corti 2007-01 By Laura Eggertson Whenever television crews showed up at St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor in northern Uganda, Dr Piero Corti would issue his standard instructions: "No white faces," he’d tell the camera operators. "Get the whites out of the shot — they’re only here for a short time. The Ugandans are the ones doing all the work." The attraction for the television crews was the success of Lacor. What began as a 30-bed hospital built by an Italian missionary order grew, over the next 40 years, into a 483-bed institution providing top-quality medical care. Through decades of turmoil spawned by dictatorship and civil war, Corti and his Canadian surgeon wife, Lucille Teasdale, faced down chaos and treated hundreds of thousands of Ugandans. Building Ugandan capacity Throughout their careers, their philosophy was the same one that guided Corti to direct the camera crews to focus on the African faces: empowerment, not charity. They were determined to build capacity and to train Ugandan professionals to care for their own people. "The idea was to get the best possible care to the most people at the least cost," explains Dr Dominique Corti, the couple’s daughter. Today, more than 500-member staff of Lacor are Ugandans. In 2005, the hospital admitted close to 35 000 patients and treated another 250 000 outpatients. An international partnership That philosophy of capacity building has now inspired the Teasdale-Corti Global Health Research Partnership Program.
