Recruiting Personnel for Compassion Evangelical Hospital

The Administrative Committee in Guinea composed of Etienne, Dr. Jean Paul, and Dr. Kristen Schmalz, make the administrative decisions from month to month.  They receive input from the Medical Committee, composed of four doctors and four nurses establishing medical protocol with which the patients are served. 

The personnel on the field now consist of 20 people who serve as construction/guardians, and 30 serving as medical/ administration staff. Six of these are MIAPE (mission organization in Ivory Coast) missionaries, with two associated spouses who do not serve directly at CEH.  We anticipate one more MIAPE couple joining us this fall. Dr Kristen is the only CEH full time missionary and we are grateful for her faithful service.

It is a priority to maintain good communication between the staff both on the field and here in the states.  Unity in work and purpose is necessary for harmonious service together and quality care for all of the patients.  As the staff grows, so does the need for the working relationships to be strong and supportive. 

Specific field personnel prayer needs are:

-  2-3 Guinean nurses for the wards (5 were recruited last month)
-  5 Operating Room Crew
-  2 U.S. registered nurses
-  1 U.S. construction leader
-  1 Pharmacist (U.S. or Guinean)
-  1 Administration (U.S - 1 Guinean recently recruited)
-  1 Surgeon
-  Short Term Medical Teams
-  Short Term Electrical and Construction crews (including plumbing)
