Dr. Tania Sarker Misty who works at the health centre organised this basic training with another senior physician Dr. Chandana. We hope to be able to organise further training in a hospital but this is proving difficult to do.
The following topics were discussed in-depth in the programme:
- Problems faced during delivery of babies
- actions and measures to be taken to solve problems
- diabetes & High Blood pressure during Pregnancy
- the steps of a normal delivery
- equipment and materials required for handling delivery cases
- practicing delivery with a ‘dame’
- what to do when a pregnant mother needs to be sent to hospital
There were 8 participators from the community. Of those, 4 are serving as Dais, 3 as assistants and Rahima (Chair person of the Managing Committee of Health Care Centre) initiates and manages delivery cases. Of the 4 Dais, Sahida had experienced more than 200 delivery cases; Jarina Begam had handled 70, Jobeda Begam 60 plus and Sarupa Begam just 6 deliveries.
At the end of the training, all felt much more confident to carry out the work they do for women in the slum.
