Angela's ward round with spectators.
Angela has stopped to give help to a woman having breast feeding problems. To achieve this there should be 3 people around the bed ie Angela, Interrupter and Lisa, a visiting midwife from the UK.However there are eleven people, as Cambodians are very curious and like to stand and stare at anything happening especially when it involves a foreigner. Soon after I took this pic a man wearing a motorbike helmet wondered in and he stood to look and listen still wearing the helmet.
Midwives wearing their new fob watches.
The members of Soroptimist International, Rishton and Great Harwood, sent Fob watches, hand gels, and tiny knitted cardigans and hats to Cambodia to improve the care in Stung Treng hospital. Here the midwives have been given the watches by Angela. Prior to this they used their mobile phones to time any checks they did on mothers and babies.
The knitted cardigans and hats were quickly put to use as many mothers do not have clothes to dress their new born babies in , and although it is very hot in Cambodia, they still need covering to keep warm in the early days.
Thank you - sometimes it is the extraordinarily simple things that make a difference - well done the person/s who clocked the timing routine and the person/s who connected the observation to fob watches. Genius ;)
