Church HQs sent Dr. and Sister Archibald from the U.S. to help us identify specific diabetes projects and measurable outcomes. He is a retired surgeon who worked as Director of Surgery for a group of 26 hospitals.
We held 35 meetings over the 2 weeks we were here so the Archibalds could get a good understanding of the current conditions. We met with a lot of the medical community as well as members of the NCD Coalition.
We also took them to the Wellness Centre and showed him their Wellness gardens. The Centre grows food for their restaurant and teaches diabetics how to grow healthy food.
Here Dr. Archibald is meeting with Lab doctor and manager to learn about the capacity for increased lab testing of diabetics.
We also met with the Hon. Phillip Muller, Minister of Health who is very supportive of potential Church diabetes initiatives.
Here he is meeting with Dr. Briand, Chief of Staff at the Majuro Hospital. Dr. Archibald gave presentations on diabetes to the NCD
