Day 253
Today is the 9th day of an open hospital aboard the Africa Mercy!! :) Admissions began on Sunday, Feb 5, admitting seven patients. It went very well, and we were off to a good start. Everyone worked hard all week, Sunday-Friday, ending with an afternoon of relaxation by the pool :)
Security was at the stadium the night before, as well as pre-screeners. Otherwise, crew members began arriving at 5:00 AM and even a bit earlier to start the day.
Here are some photos of the screening that took place on Wednesday, Feb 1.
