Sorry for a late post but I just got internet last night. I hope this
goes through. Anyway, we have begun the safe motherhood intervention
here in Mbarara. This intervention is designed to draw expecting mothers
to a local hospital in hopes that we can prevent complications in birth.
We use antenatal care including an ultra-sound. We kicked off this past
Monday and it was quite a site full of fanfare. Many locals government
official even the areas Parliament Member ( kinda like a Member of the
House in the states) was there. It was really cool because it gave me
more of an insight to Ugandan politics. We even marched in a giant
parade to spread the word about Safe Motherhood. We are continuing this
intervention in the town area for the rest of the week and then we are
going to surrounding villages next week.
Peace
