Description

Nurse Rebecca worked in Butabika Hospital for over 20 years. She started there when it had very basic facilities – no running water, no electricity and few beds. Her lifelong commitment to fighting for those with mental health issues and the stigma attached changed the ward into what it is in this image. She empowers patients in her care, who face (sometimes severe) mental health challenges and who are often outcast members of society. Nobody is alone on Nurse Rebecca’s ward
