Dear friend,
We receive weekly reports from our medical staff in the displacement camp giving us the various reasons why people come for medical help. Malaria is always at the top of the list. Our clinical officer stated that several families who came in said that the mosquito nets that they had been given two years ago had holes in them and at night mosquitoes were able to infect them.
Also in this report was the news that twins were safely delivered. This was wonderful news since having twins in South Sudan can be a very difficult procedure. But our midwife was able to help this mother have a safe delivery. This summer our midwife was able to train ten other women to be traditional birth attendants. Since the camp is so large with the 40,000 people living in it, it is difficult for women to walk to our clinic when it is time for them to deliver. With these women in various parts of the camp almost 300 babies have been delivered. Our own midwife Ayor is also expecting this spring. This will mean we need to find a new widwife.
We are grateful for your support that helps us provide quality care for our mothers. Thank you.
Best always,
Jacob
