In December 2023, Jeltje Schraverus said goodbye as director of Slingeland hospital.

Apart from guiding the Slingeland Hospital through the hoops it had to take to facilitate the construction of the new hospital, she has a great commitment to education and training. With her support Slingeland hospital now provides for an additional Physician in Global Health and Tropical Medicine (PGHTM) in Sengerema Hospital.

One of the staff-houses was renovated to create a real Slingeland-Home, where the PGTHM from the Netherlands can reside during their stay. As a farewell gift Jeltje askt for donations to SimbaHealth to further support our work. We are very grateful for her support and wish her all the best in her future project.
