Kurzbeschreibung
On Uganda's Terms is the gripping tale of the author's experiences as an American nurse during the vicious and brutal reign of Idi Amin. Ms. Hale tells the story of the struggles she faced while striving to improve the Ugandan health care system in the 1960s - 70s. Recalling a saying from the Talmud-"If you can save one life, you can save a generation," she worked to improve health care in the midst of this African nation's most horrific time in history.

A Most Compelling Story of Nursing Bravery
14. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
On Uganda's Terms written by American nurse Mary Hale is the most compelling story of one woman's bravery during the horrific time in Uganda's history. Under the leadership of the dictator Idi Amin, Hale talks about her life threatening experiences while training local residents to be nurses in her efforts to change the quality of life for women and children in a country where children were dying more than living. The book gives an excellent perspective of the day to day dangers and obstacles faced by those nurses who dedicated their lives to set up a medical facility with only primative supplies and medication. Hale's story will make you smile and make you cry. She tells about the tragedy her nurses witnessed after the raid on Entebbe and the burning of one of the Jewish prisoners taken from the hijacked airplane. Hale spent a decade in Uganda trying to make a difference under adverse conditions. Anyone who is interested in the true spirit of nursing and humanism needs to read this book. This book shows nursing at its absolute best. Mary Hale will be a heroine to anyone who learns her story. The book also includes pictures of her staff and patients in Uganda.
