Nurses with Purpose had the opportunity to attend the annual delegation with Mr. Mutombo and his team of experts. As the first nursing organization to be in attendance, we identified some areas in which NWP would be able to facilitate nursing support throughout the hospital with joint forces with DMF.
Every year DMF's outreach focuses on a variety of services including, orthopedic surgery, breast cancer awareness and screening, and just recently cataract surgery.
