Arrived! What a road... It was like driving through a river at times! Saw 4 trucks that had broken down. 2 or 3 had overturned on the bad, slippery roads. Saw a massive cobra sliding across the road! Travel out of Kamakwie will be difficult. It's been a long time since I've felt so remote and far from everything.
I met the matron, Dr Asher, and other local staff which was nice. A bit whirlwind! Going to settle in for the night soon. Making the most of the 2 hours of electricity in the eve to charge laptop.
There'll be a bit of a moot tomorrow so I can introduce myself and share my plans. I have so much respect for those who give up so much to serve the community here, it's so remote... but quite beautiful. It reminds me of a tropical version of The Shire... No Hobbits though.

An account of my medical elective in Sierra Leone. I'll keep you updated with my research planning and how it's conducted, and with my experiences of working in Kamakwie Hospital, in a town in the distant north of the country.
