SANA returned to Aboujaoude Hospital for a second session with the midwives today. It was truly a most educational and “fun” session.

The main topic today was the the 6-steps approach which was covered in details. Subsequently, SANA’s simulator was brought to the auditorium and a demonstation on its use was carried out by SANA’s Reem S. Abu-Rustum.

The midwives then took turn each scanning a “virtual” patient with feedback from the colleagues. It was a see on, do one, teach one session as the midwives interacted and helped one another. Their worry about anatomical recognition soon disintegrated as they confidently identified presentation, ascertained viability and localized the placenta. It was amazing to see their recognition of intracranial and intrabdominal anatomy.

Reem left them with the simulator to continue practicing and returned home having set the date for the next session with the amazingly dedicated midwives :))
