Collection relating to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) service of Major (later Colonel) Beverley Christine Wright CSM, Medical Support Force Rwanda, 1994-1995.
Wallet 1 of 1 - Collection consists of documents and newsletters relating to Wright's service with UNAMIR in Rwanda as Senior Nursing Officer, Medical Support Force Rwanda, from August 1994 to February 1995. The collection includes four newsletters compiled by Wright (with contributions by others) between October 1994 and January 1995 to update nursing colleagues in Australia on the operations and activities of the Medical Support Force Rwanda. The newsletters describe the challenges of establishing suitable medical facilities, of the diverse medical and surgical patients encountered, problems with infectious and tropical diseases, health care for local populations at Butare and outlying clinics, language barriers, experiences in operating theatres and intensive care units, post-surgical and obstetric work at the Central Hospital Kigali, limited supplies, the necessity of good humour and stationary, and partnerships with non-government organisations. The collection also includes Wright's personal reflections on service in Rwanda. Wright reflects on the significance of the deployment, the efforts of the medical contingent to improve conditions for the Rwandan people, child victims of the civil war, and the mixed but mostly positive feelings inspired by her time in Rwanda.
