Cannulating Friday

As what people say, practice makes perfect. So we practice on each other. We have a great and painful way of ending our day.

Pre Entry Phase of Health Promotion Campaign

So today, we went to Cebu Normal University to ask permission from the dean to allow us to have a room to room campaign about Health Promotion. Getting there took us around 30 minutes from the office. As you can see, the photos above is the very colorful school and the backs of Margot, Madeleine, and Sarah

Laboratory Works with Jakob and Freya

Jakob and Freya (both from Denmark) spent a lot of time in the Laboratory. They are trusted to printout the results of some blood works and chemistry so that staffs can do other important things.

Daily Routine

Part of our daily routine is taking of vital signs in the ward. The ward was supposed to accommodate 50 patients in Obstetrics, Medical Female and Male wards and Pediatrics ward but on some days the hospital census would reach up to 100-120 patients. It is our great pleasure to help the staff in taking vital signs in all of the patients so that they could do other things like writing the journals and preparing of medications.

Kids Play

All in a days work, at some point we just want to play with the kids or cuddle babies. It makes you feel relaxed seeing innocence and life in front of you.

Health Promotion Campaign with Terry

Terry-Anne Jennet a General Practitioner from the UK and Rei a volunteer from Japan went to the school in Nailon to have a health promotion campaign. Being with her was so much fun. I was able to listen to her deliver a very brilliant lecture to the students. I was in awe with how much compassion she has to what she was doing. I hope to see her again in the future.
