We the staff have learnt many things, most didn’t know how to manage abortions and even just filling in partographs. With the mentorship, they are beginning to appreciate these skills more. Those days mothers were going away bleeding. But now everyone is able to do manual vacuum aspiration, they are able to quickly save life where there is an incomplete abortion. One thing I have seen is that the health workers are more motivated and now you find them at work. Even those who are on leave, sometimes they come to help. The health workers now cooperate with each other and they make sure that the patients are attended to. Like the other day, I could not make it but my colleague covered for me in maternity very well.
