Almost every patient admitted to the hospital is tested for AIDS and I shudder to think of the number which test positive. If one is positive it is the mark of death since treatment is unaffordable and in most instances too late. Someday soon, please God, a vaccine will be found. Sheila Walsh, RSM , Chief Executive Officer S everal Sisters of Mercy here are beginning a conversation about opening an AIDS Hospice to allow people to die with dignity among compassionate care givers. We will keep you posted.
Volunteers are an integral part of Guyana.
They also painted a good section of the outside wall of one wing of the hospital. This summer two experienced ICU nurses will be coming, one for a few months and the other for up to a year. They will be a real asset to our junior nurses in ICU and our students. Once again I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the wonderful people out there who have been a major support to my ministry at Mercy. Feeling the tremendous human, spiritual and financial support fills each waking moment with a sense of well-being and great hope for Guyana.
