Dr Ruth Mulu-Droppers. General Medicine

She is serving in the Outpatient department and internal section of the hospital and in a rural clinic. Her blog summarized her involvement: " I arrived at Soddo May 30, 2007....I'm the fourth doctor and also work in the clinic, first aid, children and internal section."

A quote from their September 2009 newsletter: "we thank God for His mercy and grace...we have been here for a month...Soddo is a delighful place to live and work. ... we are looking forward to the blessings the Lord has in store for us as we serve in Soddo. Our time with the leadership of the hospital has invigorated our anticipation of what is to come. There will certainly be challenges but we are trusting that Christ will be with us, as He has promised. Looking forward to updates from abroad!
This has been a humbling process and I suspect it will continue to be so. Given what the Bible says about humble people, I thank God for this humbling experience and pray He will mold me into the kind of man He wants me to be. Thank you all for your prayers and concern, your prayers are being heard. "
