visiting the district hospitals

Yesterday, Gaston, Etienne and I made site visits to a couple of district hospitals to follow up on whether anesthesia providers have been able to change their practice as a result of the SAFE Obstetric Anesthesia Course.  These practitioners work in quite isolated settings with little support and all expressed gratitude for the training they received during the course.  Our hands on approach during the course of skills practice, discussions and scenarios, where participants had to role play to manage emergencies, clearly left an impact.  We heard some very positive news about practice change.  There is now question people took the training to heart.  

We have a busy schedule of more interviews today.  Thank goodness our wonderful friend and driver, Emmy, is guiding us around.  Last night was passed at the Dereva Hotel, where we held the SAFE Course.  We were warmly welcomed as celebs.  I got the VIP room:-)  Jeremiah was beaming and wanted to know all about Megan.  Everyone wants to know when she will be back.
