Sms 21 SENs, 9 SRNs, 16 Doctors (either Cuban or Nigerian - no Gambian). 200 beds, 250 staff in total, 600,000 people to cover. Supplies from Bansul takes 6-8 hours along very poor south road (carpet bombed)
In Jan 2008 a group of UK volunteers are riding seven Honda C90s and driving two 4x4 pick-ups to Bansang Hospital and the Alexander Edwards Clinic in The Gambia.
View Larger Map I am one of the riders for this venture; a trip that will involve a 4000 mile journey over 4 weeks.
We will donate the 4x4s, the scooters (Honda C90’s) and any other supplies & spares to the charities for use by their doctors, nurses and outreach personnel. The Honda C90s are a form of transport widely used there due their reliability and low running costs.
