This month I will be volunteering with #latterdaysaintcharities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our team will help teach two medical courses to local doctors and nurses. The first course is called Helping Mothers Survive: Bleeding After Birth. We will teach various interventions which can be used when there is a postpartum hemorrhage. The second course is called Helping Babies Survive: Essential Care for Small Babies. In this course, we will help the providers recognize and respond to problems and danger signs in newborns.
This will be my fifth time teaching in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and my second time teaching in Lubumbashi, which is in the south of the country--just 18 miles from the border of Zambia. This will also be my 14th journey to the African continent. I always look forward to working with the excellent physicians, midwives, and nurses in Africa who are anxiously striving to improve health care in their communities.
