Peltier Hospital


I made my first visit to Peltier Hospital, the Djiboutian Hospital in Djibouti, to meet with the Cardiac Surgeon. He is the only Cardiac Surgeon in Djibouti. The first thing you notice when you step out of your vehicle at Peltier is the smell of raw sewage. You have to be careful to watch your step as you enter the hospital. It's not uncommon to see cats walking around the complex, finding a cool place to lay. There are multiple buildings on the hospital complex and there are signs that the facilities are improving with new construction and help from foreign countries.
