Teaching Bleeding After Birth in Brazzaville

 

This week I am in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, teaching Helping Mothers Survive with Latter-day Saint Charities. Using donated equipment, our team is teaching health care providers what to do if a mother hemorrhages after birth. The participants will then take the teaching kits to their local hospitals to train their colleagues.

The Republic of the Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville, is a country of 5.5 million people in Central Africa. It is across the Congo River from the Democratic Republic of the Congo which is also known as Congo-Kinshasa.

This is my ninth journey to Africa and the third time I have taught in the Republic of the Congo. I participated in the first course taught in the Republic of the Congo by Latter-day Saint Charities in 2007 here in Brazzaville. I also taught in Pointe-Noire and Dolisie in 2018.
