Since 2012, medical specialists from OLVG in Amsterdam have been involved in the work of three hospitals in Zimbabwe which are run by Dominican Sisters. We have been impressed by the dedication and resilience of the doctors and nurses working in these hospitals who strive to provide good quality care despite limited resources. Their work inspired us to start the Ushamwari (friendship) OLVG-Zimbabwe Foundation. The Foundation’s goal is to support our colleagues in Zimbabwe using small-scale but sustainable projects.
