Save a life, save humanity
keeping individuals and opportunity alive
In November 2015, IMI UK and IMI Tanzania co-hosted an obstetrics training at the Medewell Clinic in Kibaha, Tanzania.
Rhi Grindle and Sofia (senior midwives) held training sessions on obstetric emergencies, ie, PET and eclampsia, PPH, breech, shoulder dystocia and neonatal resuscitation & immediate care of the newborn. This also included when referrals should be made; either for the women to refer themselves or for staff to refer to the referral hospital.
I can't believe my luck! I was truly fortunate to have attended this seminar. The presenters readily shared inside information, that was so valuable. It very realistically defined where each one of us stood on the road to residency, and highlighted how much effort each one of us needed in order to get where we wanted. The most amazing thing was, that each person's concerns were individually addressed in the Q & A session. Now I have a very clear idea of what my next step has to be. And I am more determined than ever to get there! I cannot thank the presenters and the administration enough.
Firstly, thank you all for a wonderful conference in Barbados. The educational content and speakers were excellent and in addition the opportunity for networking was a great bonus. Your hard work and its success was very evident.
If InshAllah, I secure a residency in the upcoming match, I will owe the organizers and the speakers at the seminar more than they will take credit for.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this list for what proved to be a truly life-altering experience. It was terrific working with all of you, except Farhaj...But seriously, Naeema and some of my other classmates know rather well that I had allowed medical school and the residency process to make me cynical and tired. I'm happy to say though, that after a week of truly hard work, emotional challenge, and actually helping some people, I have returned home feeling refreshed and renewed. As corny as this all sounds, I'm actually excited to be a doctor again. I can't thank you all enough for that. So I'm hooked on relief work. I hope that I have more opportunities to help in situations like this, and if possible, to work with you all again.
