Reference excerpt

Terrewode Women's Community Hospital, is a community hospital, under construction in Uganda, that specializes in the prevention, treatment, surgical correction and rehabilitation of obstetric fistula and its complications.

Location The hospital is located in Awasi Village, Arapai sub-county, in Soroti District, in the Eastern Region of Uganda, approximately 7.5 kilometres (5 mi), by road, northwest of the town of Soroti, the nearest large town. This is approximately 300 kilometres (186 mi), by road, northeast of Kampala, the national capital and largest city of Uganda.

Overview In Uganda, obstetric fistula is a major public health problem with over 140,000 women living with fistula. At least 1,900 new cases of fistula are registered in the country, every year. The hospital sits on a 6 acres (24,000 m2) piece of land, purchased with money from the Uganda Fistula Fund. The objective of the hospital is to provide health services for obstetric fistula and other child birth-related injuries. It is modeled after the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, founded by Australian Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Catherine Hamlin. Terrewode, the Soroti-based non-profit, has been active against obstetric fistula in the Teso sub-region since 2002. More than 4,000 women have been supported by Terrewode in collaboration with the Uganda Ministry of Health, United Nations Population Fund, Amref Health Africa and Gender Health.

Construction The first phase of construction is budgeted to cost US$1.6 million (approx. USh5.8 billion), and expected to last eight months. The International Fistula Alliance is funding this phase. Gabikan Engineering Limited Construction Company was selected as the contractor for phase 1, consisting of the main hospital block. The second phase, consisting the out-patient clinic, maternity department and staff quarters, will follow after the first, allowing the hospital to provide obstetric services.

Fundraising In September 2017, the Speaker of the Uganda's parliament, received US$1 million from Ugandan diasporians, donated towards the construction of this hospital.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Terrewode Women's Community Hospital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Terrewode Women's Community Hospital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Terrewode Women's Community Hospital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Terrewode Women's Community Hospital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Terrewode Women's Community Hospital

In research: Terrewode Women's Community Hospital appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Terrewode Women's Community Hospital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Terrewode Women's Community Hospital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Hospitals in Eastern Region, Uganda, Soroti District, Women's hospitals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Terrewode Women's Community Hospital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
