Here's the setup for the prenatal clinic that I volunteer at
weekly in Nyabisindu, a village about a 15 minute drive from my home.
There are 3 of these 'rooms' and you can find the midwives kneeling near
the patient on the mattress. It's amazing what all can be done despite
having scant supplies, no electricity, and no running water. The
patients arrive in the morning and sit up to 5 hours in the heat before they
are seen by a midwife.
Recently I was reading up on a mother's health history
that included: 'snake bite' in her past history. I gotta admit that
was a new one for me after taking years of admission histories in the USA.
A local ministry planted a church in this village that was born
out of community health evangelism.
