I am leaving soon for Kokolopori and will be bringing equipment and supplies for the Kokolopori health clinic with me, thanks to generous donors like you.
On my last visit to Kokolopori in March, twelve midwives received their brevets (midwife certificates) from the zone commissioner, during a General Assembly gathering of village representatives, lineage chiefs and important members of the community. The next training round of 15 midwives is starting shortly at Yetee village with nurse Nestor Baelongandi.
The Yetee dispensary, started in May 2009, is becoming a center for maternal and infant health program. Besides the general health care services that are available, Yetee dispensary is dedicated to providing mothers’ health education in the field of safe delivery preparedness and hygiene. It delivers prenatal consultations to mothers and also consultations for preschoolers. The clinic organizes once a week, each Friday, a special day for pregnant women.
I will send more news when I return from Kokolopori in August. We are depending on the generosity of our donors to help provide equipment for the next class of midwives.
