Muddy Roads...

Greetings! Today has been an action packed day. Some of the CHASL staff and I have been visiting medical clinics. We visited Juba Medical Clinic, a clinic right behind CHASL, and St. Anthony's Medical/maternity clinic. There was a woman at this clinic who walked by herself all the way there in labor! She was waiting patiently in line when one of the nurses noticed she was in pain and asked her if she was in labor. This situation is not uncommon, and many women walk to the clinic by themselves while in labor. At each medical clinic the staff would show us each of the rooms and what they were used for, then they would give us some information on what types of patients they see and the treatment they give them. I am learning so much! We had a pharmicist in our group who gave them drugs, vitamins, and other medical materials. It took awhile traveling today, because it was so rainy. It rained last night and into the day. The roads are washed away in many areas. Tomorrow I meet with the Minister of Health to discuss the PB project. Blessings! By the way, thank you for the comments on my blog. I am still figuring out how to respond to comments..I wish I knew more about blogging:)
