News July 2021:
Intense activity in this month of July.
First of all, we are continuing our collaboration with Gynécologie Sans Frontière, a second videoconference has taken place. The subjects covered: the need for equipment, the implementation and adaptation of medical protocols, exchanges taking concrete cases as examples.
As part of our outings in the bush, our medical team traveled to Île aux Nattes, which can only be reached by canoe. This place does have a health center, but no doctor is present. During this day, 54 patients were treated.
The births followed one another in our maternity ward. Two of them were particularly complicated. The first following a respiratory deficiency of the baby, the second required a major surgical intervention for the mother. All the costs related to this hospitalization were covered by our association, the family not being able to provide for it. The most important and gratifying thing is that in the end everyone is doing well.
A total of 530 medical procedures were performed this month.
