During June and July two medical doctors volunteered to assist Sister Maria in the Otavi Health Clinic. The doctors were to spend six weeks in the region to share their professional experiences with the staff of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, but also assess the situation of the Otavi Health Clinic in order to assist OOCT with the conceptualization of future projects.
The task of the doctors was in the first place to in co-operation with the doctors of the district hospital in Otjiwarongo provide training in trauma treatment. Sister Maria was to be included in this training program. Moreover, the doctors were to support Sister Maria and the other nurses at the Otavi Health Clinic in their daily work while continuously sharing methods common in hospitals in Germany.
The six weeks were a fruitful experience for Sister Maria, the patients from Otavibut also the two doctors who were able to gain a lot from the time shared with Sister Maria and her colleagues in the Otavi clinic.
