Maternal
Waiting Home
The Maternal Waiting Home,
which is located next to the Santa Ines Clinic, continues offering help and
support for pregnant and postpartum women from the surrounding communities in a
safe and comfortable environment. Some of the patients required ultrasound or
electrocardiogram exams and were then referred for clinical management and
follow-up treatment.
In the first three months of
this year, 85 women gave birth and most had healthy babies, however, 17 of
these women had to be referred and transferred to the Puerto Cabezas Hospital
for a variety of complications with labor and delivery including giving birth
by cesarean sections.
The demand for these services
is urgently needed but with your generous support, Dooley Intermed will
continue to provide a lifeline to all the area residents by truck to the inland
communities or by dugout canoe along the Coco River to theses remote areas to
help the proud but impoverished Miskito and Mayagna people who desperately seek
medical help and support.
