September, 2011
The CGHI was pleased to host a visit from Father Bonaventure Turyomumazima, PhD, Coordinator and Member of the Board of Directors Holy Innocents Children's Hospital (HICH), Uganda, and Chancellor of Mbarara Diocese, Uganda. In July of 2010, CGHI medical professionals helped install a neonatal unit, a community nutrition study and emergency medicine triage protocols at HICH. In addition, CGHI members continue to participate in the education and training of HICH clinicians in an ongoing collaborative effort between CGHI and the Ugandan hospital, which is the country's first-ever exclusive children's hospital.

The collaboration has been so beneficial to the HICH that Father Bonaventure wanted to personally reach out to those individuals and organizations that have, through the CGHI, been instrumental in the continued collaboration. Father Bonaventure gave a presentation at grand rounds at Children's Hospital Oakland, and was welcomed at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute following grand rounds for a reception hosted by the CGHI.
