Bonnie Greenwood, Pharmacy from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston USA returned for her 4th year to Rwanda with Team Heart. But this is not just the 3 week trip as it is for some, as she continues the work year round. She is involved in meetings with the other teams to coordinate a central medication list to share and is an integral part of the Coumadin delivery program. For the past year, while Rwanda improves the supply and demand aspect, Bonnie has helped coordinate the supply side. Earlier this year joined Team Heart in a request to place Warfarin/Coumadin on the essential drug list. A great first step! 

Below, Bonnie and Ceeya are delighted to see the IV fluid arrive...and in "pouches"!, (IV bags to us in US and standard use).  For our six years we have wanted to have the bags purchased in Rwanda to decrease the weight and the clearance and this year it was successful.  We wish Steve Senat,  BWH  OR procurement was here to celebrate....Thank you to Steve and Vedaste!
