Twice a year we bring in a team of doctors and nurses to help teach a couple of two-day seminars called Helping Babies Breathe. These trainings have provided hundreds of Nepali professionals with the tools to help them teach birthing centers how to resuscitate newly born infants using a simple bag and mask technique called Helping Babies Breathe. This is the last big project of our Mission.
This picture shows us welcoming most of the team members. They flew in from the USA via China. That trip takes about 30 hours including stops at various airports.
This picture shows Dr. Ken Richardson along with Sherry Redford and Lori Noorlander. In the middle is Dr. Kalpana Subedi a very experienced Nepali Doctor. Our team members were visiting the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) at the Paropakar Maternity & Women's Hospital in Kathmandu. This hospital has about 20,000 babies delivered each year. That is more than all but two hospitals in the USA. Ken is a neonatal intensive care doctor and both Sherry and Lori are highly experienced NICU nurses.
This is a picture of us arriving at the hotel in Pokhara. Pictured in the middle is Ruku. Ruku is a nurse and a member of our church. We need a Nepali speaker to help with the registration and testing. Ruku is also a qualified instructor. The hotel gave us small flowers and a tika (red mark on the forehead) were given to us as a welcome.
A picture of us with over 20 baby manikins that are filled with water and ready for use in the training.
