As part of that effort, starting tomorrow, Saturday, 15 November, 22 tonnes of medical supplies, including anti-diarrhoeal disease medicines, will leave Kampala for Goma on an arduous three to four-day truck journey. While the difficulties in transporting these supplies are immense, the biggest challenges are to identify exactly where these medicines are needed most and for which health conditions.
