Judy Thompson, ADFA volunteer Midwife, recently spent 16 days providing at Edna Adan University Hospital in Hargeisa, Somaliland, conducting clinical teaching and providing medical assistance to mothers and their babies.
Judy spent long days at the hospital caring for 62 mothers and 84 babies, and training medical students, doctors, nurses and midwives. Particular emphasis was placed improving cleaning procedures, sterilisation practices and handwashing to reduce cross infection and sepsis.
Judy was accompanied by her son, Christopher (Kip) Thompson, an Exercise Physiologist, who worked in the pre- and post-surgical area caring for children, babies and adults to improve their rehabilitation and mobility.
Thanks Judy and Kip for your continued support of our programs in Somaliland.
