There was a volunteer from Europe visiting and she wanted to see a Health Centre so I hopped into the van as well and went with her!
It was about a one hour drive away from Gondar Hospital into the countryside (Past Azezo and past the turning to the airport). The asphalt road ran out so then it was along very bumpy track.
Antenatal clinic
If there were any complications then the patients from here would be sent to Gondar Hospital - along said dirt road - either in the health centre ambulance or in the Red Cross one or Hospital one.
They said they had one or two deliveries everyday but there was no-one there when we visited. It was super clean!
For the neonatal resuscitation
The health centre was staffed by 2 midwives and then there were 7 other nurses who did different clinics etc - the head midwife said he would love more training for the nurses as there were times that the midwives were not at work so the nurses cared for the pregnant ladies.
The autoclave
The smallest ambulance you ever may see!! They say it attaches onto the Bajaj (tuktuk) - would not fancy it though along the bumpy road - being in a 4x4 was bad enough!

thank you for you information
ReplyDeleteI had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this proceedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what?
