"Before I came here, the
news of this place, what I
heard on the radio, it was
really terrifying. "
M eet Nu r se Rose, Al ado Cen tr e "In -Ch ar ge" (Su per visor )
Although Nurse Rose is now a beacon of hope
in Apac, she wasn?t always sure she was up for
the task. ?I was appointed as the head of this
Health Centre, but it was a tug-of-war for me. I
refused, even to the point of writing a letter to
the DHO and the CAO (Chief Administrative
Officer), but my struggle was in vain."
Nurse Rose explains, ?they were selling other
items like [mosquito] nets and child
immunization cards. These things are to be
given free, but it seems they were being sold to
patients. So when I came, I started putting
things right. Together with our staff we started
making things OK.?
?The news on the radio about what the former
in charge was doing was really terrible,?said
Evaline Ayagu, ?no one would want to associate
him or herself with this facility.?
?Now, we only now get positive feedback from
the community,?says Evaline, ?I?m really so
grateful for her.?
