The African stretcher

The stretcher in the boat

In Kabale when the people are sick especially in the villages they lay the mattress and mat in the stretcher.
They put the sick person to sleep in the stretcher; it has four arms where to pass the poles to support the person who is in the stretcher. The stretcher needs four people to carry it. The people put the poles of the stretcher on their shoulders. When they reach at the lake they put the stretcher in the boat. Reaching at harutindo they remove the sick person and put him/ her in the car and be taken to the hospital.
