Dr. Gaspard trekked into Volcanoes National Park Rwanda to do a routine health check on Sabyinyo group last week. This group had sustained a respiratory infection outbreak over a month ago and even required medical support from our veterinarians when silverback Gihishamwotsi took a turn for the worse. Fortunately our intervention helped him overcome the infection!


Due to thick vegetation and a downpour of rain, the health check was quite difficult but our teams go out in the field regardless of weather conditions to check on the health of their wild gorilla patients. Dr. Gaspard is pleased to report that Sabyinyo group appears to be in good health.
