The members of ehsso are aware we do not know the DAY-TO-DAY work life of a nurse or physician in south sudan. we know that we cannot relate if we had 100 malnourished patients under a tent needing critical help on top of a grassy, muddy field to refer to as a “clinic“. no decontaminated surface in sight.
Our members also know that the only thing that can limit you is believing that you are limited. The members of EHSSO have become limitless.
We are more than ready to help serve the people in South Sudan, but most importantly, learn and grow with them.
