ASUM Outreach volunteer held a 4-day obstetric course that included lectures in Bahasa as well as pre-and post-course quizzes for 4 doctors and 14 nurses and midwives from Bali, Sumba, Papua & Lombok.
12 of the students were complete beginners but by the final day, all were able to complete an assessment for identifying anatomy and correctly measuring a fetal head, abdomen, and femur.
The doctors were also introduced to FAST to assist in their remote clinics.
Donated ultrasound equipment varied from old to hand-held, but by teaching clinic staff the basics of obstetric POCUS they can save lives.
Thanks to our dedicated trainers Sue Westerway, Debre Paoletti, Fiona Singer, and Sue Hewlett for continuing this important work.
