Arrival in Sogakofe
September 23thThis morning we got picked up by a driver of Sogakofe. Before, we were able to resume our project and our work in general. On our way to the final hospital we drove through winding roads, mountains and some beautiful rainforest. When we arrived in Sogakofe we immediately started our tour through the hospital with the electrician Franci Wonda.
He showed us the three generators they currently have. A brand new one, an older one and a really old one. We managed to get the older one working and helped to clear technical questions about its mode of operation. Afterwards we went to the dental clinic to check on a centrifuge which had a big problem. Unfortunately we were not able to find out the issue it had even though we tried quite a long time.
After lunch we wanted to work on an anesthesia machine which also had a problem but unfortunately the room where it was standing in was locked. So we kept trying to repair the centrifuge but there was no manual, not even on the internet.
We decided to finish for today and to continue with the anesthesia machine tomorrow morning before our return to Germany.
