Attapeu : hospital project

Inauguration of the new nursery

In order to address the need of the staff, SFE opened a nursery at Attopeu hospital on June 21. Women represent indeed 80 % of of the employees in the hospital. So far, there was nothing organized to take care of the children for the staff. This situation made the daily work of these women quite complicated, and they only have a very limited time to follow training courses. Since February, several members of SFE staff in Attopeu worked with zeal on the project, in spite of some unfortunate incidents in the course of its realization.

Sekong and Attapeu

Midway evaluation of the projects

May 15 in Sekong and May 16-17 in Attapeu have been important dates for three SFE projects. In Attapeu came the evaluation of the TB control project and of the hospital and community development project, in the presence of the local authorities and representatives of the Ministries. As a reminder, each project has first to be agreed upon by the government under a three years “Master of Understanding (MOU)”, and there is an evaluation in the middle of the contract duration. At this occasion, SFE presents the work accomplished so far and the objectives for the following period. This gives the opportunity to know what the authorities think about the work done and make some adjustments when necessary. The result of these evaluations was very positive and SFE received congratulations for its work. The authorities concluded several times with this sentence: “Working for the underprivileged populations of Laos is equivalent to working for the whole country”. This gratitude is a very nice recognition of our service.
