SANA’s team returned to Dahieh today for another medical/educational mission at the health dispensary of “Aamel Organization”. Accompanying SANA was Dr. Maha Ayoubi, a 3^rd year Ob/Gyn resident at the Lebanese University.

The patients seen today were between their 5th to 8th months of pregnancy. They ranged in age between 23 and 36 years old, and 67% were on pregnancy 4 or more. Dr. Maha showed remarkable improvement in her scanning abilities as she carried out the 6-Step approach, under the guidance of SANA’s Reem S. Abu-Rustum. In addition, she was abale to obtain the majority of the anatomic planes ascertaining the presence and normal appearance of the various fetal organs. SANA redated 22% of the patients seen.

A special thank you to Mr. Dory Mansour and Levant Alie Houses SAL for providing all the supplements today.
