LEAVING HAYDOM LUTHERAN HOSPITAL AFTER 5 YEARS SERVICE
On the 22nd of June Turid and Øystein Evjen Olsen received the final confirmation regarding the details of their departure from Haydom as the transition period to the new leader, Dr Olav Espegren, was announced by the ELCT Mbulu Diocese. Dr Olsen will complete his 5-year contract, ending on the 15th of July, as planned, leaving the office to Dr Isack Malleyeck in the period between Dr Olsen’s departure and Dr Espegrens arrival.

Once it was clear that the hospital was blessed with a new leader, the family announced that their stay in Haydom would come to an end.

28TH OF JUNE, 2010- A MILESTONE REACHED ! - HAYDOM LUTHERAN HOSPITAL APPROVED AS A REFERRAL HOSPITAL AT REGIONAL LEVEL
On the 28th of June 2010, in his speech to the Parliament of Tanzania, the Honourable Minister of Health, Professor David Homeli Makyusa, announced the Haydom Lutheran Hospital to be recognized as a referral hospital at regional level (See attachment). The HLH was announced together with several other faith based and non-governmental hospitals. This is a historic milestone for the hospital, being one of the main aims of the late Dr Ole Halgrim Evjen Olsen towards the end of his service as the director of the hospital. Throughout the last 5-year period the hospital MMD Dr Øystein Evjen Olsen, administration, staff and board have worked towards the fulfillment of this objective. Becoming a referral hospital at regional level brings new possibilities to the hospital towards its objective of becoming a training hospital and serving the people, its partners and the country of Tanzania better. This new situation will influence the way forward and the hospital asks all partners to celebrate this milestone and work together with the hospital into this new future.
