I have recently been named Director of Hospital Vozandes del Oriente (HVO) in Shell. Sometimes I find myself thinking that Administration is mundane and not worth writing about.
Here’s an example of Administration making a difference.
Recently, a four-year old boy named Luis arrived in the hospital with his mother. His two year old brother had accidently stabbed him in the eye with a knife. We normally only have ophthalmological coverage every three weeks, but Administration has recently made an agreement with a local ophthalmologist to help with emergencies and surgeries.
The local doctor arrived, and after a couple of surgeries, it seems that Luis will be just fine.
Luis and his mother
The family does not have very much money, so they are not able to pay the bill, which is a bit more than $1,000. But HVO administers a charity fund to be used for people with limited resources. Because of the generosity of givers to the charity fund, Luis’ bill is able to be paid.
