As the sun rises in Kampala, Uganda, Zaina’s toddler daughter Shanita isn’t feeling well. Today Zaina plans to take her to the local clinic. I worked with LifeNet International this summer, which provides medical and management training, pharmaceutical delivery and growth financing to a franchise of clinics to help clinics build capacity.
LifeNet has operated in Burundi since 2012 and expanded into Uganda this year with 10 health center partners.
To get a glimpse into LifeNet’s work, let’s step into Zaina’s world as she takes her daughter into the local health clinic.
