Upper Sardine Lake

Dr. Scott dedicates his swim at Upper Sardine Lake to Bwindi Community Hospital’s Pediatric Department. Every year around the world, 650,000 children die from malaria—a preventable disease. Dr. Scott partnered with Batwa traditional healers, the omufumu, who originally misunderstood the parasite causing malaria. BCH reduced the malarial death rate by providing bed nets. In addition to malaria, BCH successfully treats other pediatric health issues such as malnutrition.
