It was a very special trip for SANA as one of its trainees, midwife Janine, has commenced work at the Lebanese Red Cross. Janine recently received her ISUOG certificate and is eager to put her new skills to good use using the ultrasound machine available on site.
Â
As such, SANA’s team joined her at the Red Cross Locale in Tripoli where SANA’s Reem S. Abu-Rustum adjusted the settings on the machine and showed Janine how to use it, optimize her image, and find the biometric measurements with gestational age assignment.
Â
Subsequently, Janine skillfully scanned the patients who ranged in age between 16 and 38 years, many of whom where on pregnancy 8 and above, with as many as 6 prior cesarean sections. Extensive counseling was provided and Janine redated 60% of the patients seen. She carried out the 6-steps approach with skill and comfort.
Â
SANA thanks Mr. Dory Mansour and Levant ALie Houses SAL who provided all supplements today.

At the end of a rewarding day, plans were made for a similar visit to the Red Cross’s locale in Mina to work and adjust the machine there with Janine in the near future…
