party in the Bouka

After our three months spent in the Bouka we wanted already proposed by Anne-Laure Fête in the Bouka implement our farewell still in action. As Leah and I both CFA moderately slow rather sat on dry land, we had to look around for a more favorable opportunity. We bought pineapple, a régime de banana drinks, chocolate, rice and vegetables, and Yoghourt, milk, flour and yeast (which was probably baking soda). From this, we conjured up after all soaked in chocolate banana and pineapple pieces, a king cake, braid, banana cream, Rice salad, and guacamole. The visitor was not huge parade and Leah spent half the night in bed after his head had struck a double bed and again found unconscious on the floor, probably with a slight concussion - tropical wood is hard. But Gabonese our friends drove somewhere to a fanfare and sang and drummed with and for us. All in all a successful evening, but beforehand I had also complicated. As always when one is rather short on time, I had rather a lot of work in the afternoon in the clinic and the hospital and was then invited by the friends of Major Kopp to the tailor because they wanted to give me an African Tenue. As containing correct Gabonese, we met first time the ladies, that we drank a beer and after a visit to the tailor, they drove me to the taxi or in a bar where there was drinking again and I was still with Palm wine was bottled. As they knew well that I still had a lot to prepare, but then we said goodbye to "prematurely" from the others. Regrettably, just then, of course, no more taxi and we went the distance to the nearest Carrefour on foot, in order to finally find a taxi that drove us to the Schweitzer Hospital. Lea was understandably quite annoyed because I stayed away so long and only about half an hour was left to prepare everything before The guests began to arrive. With a little improvisation and the confidence that in Gabon seem all too late anyway, but hats then executed hit very well.

two days with the PMI way

Gabon All over the various hospitals try Betreuug the fullest possible use of young children, pregnant mothers and guaranteed. That is, from a hospital runs a mission in each cycle to its allotted dispensaries. A dispensary may include a blechumzäunten garden shed to the stone house, everything. In the 4x4 of their principal drugs are taken, vaccines, and the main study material.
Every Wednesday and Thursday driving the PMI of the Schweitzer Hospital off, on the other days, the PMI is working on the hospital itself is usually with each of the student of Pediatrics, since this seat for Anne-Laure's departure in late December has become free, we now share Lea and I are the exits with PMI.
I drove on Wednesday and Thursday Ebel-abanga Bifoun, from both towns on the road to Libreville, about 1 1 / 2 hours drive from Lambaréné.
As always, we come to about 10 clock in the morning at the dispensary, where most have many women waiting with their babies. If you are lucky, they even help a bear, the whole truckload of material in the dispensary. Then all the babies and small children are weighed and the weight with age in the PMI-book mentioned when asked for the diet, the weight entered into the growth curves. Described such a follow-up book costs 1,000 CFA, or about 2.50 sFr. And then the women pay for the regular weighing no more. For weighing the babies are taken off, in substance-Culottes pinned with a hanging straps and hung to the scales, which in turn is either aufgehägt from a hook or out of a tree. The older children are placed on a floor scale. Those children whose weight has fallen out of the growth curve, heraugepickt to discuss with the mostly young mothers to child nutrition and to provide tips and tricks. Not infrequently, listen to young mothers on breastfeeding, go, go because they hold still at school or work and then en brousse the babies feed only 3 times per day. The pint is not cleaned properly, in the heat of course a haven for germs, or the child has diarrhea for weeks.
then be called the mothers who want a consultation for a sick child - usually fever, runny nose, cough, diarrhea, not so much different than in Switzerland. Only prescribed that any fever without infection-find focus for a few days Quinine and Fansidar is, malaria is always present. And although recommended sleep, not all babies and pregnant women under a mosquito net.
will last, if any, called pregnant women. It often succeeds, the PMI as to reach women who do not go to the hospital check-ups. In Bifoun us a woman was presented by a neighbor who was apparently with her 26 years, about 10 times the pregnant, according to the information provided about the 5th Month. She appeared slightly mentally retarded, smiled constantly and did not seem to understand most of our questions properly. With the help of translation by the neighbor, we developed questions among pregnancies appear to be two abortions and two child deaths (according to the mother they have been eaten), the woman apparently lived nearby with an older man. For pregnancy tests, a plastic table cloth down on the stone floor, lying down on the pregnant woman. The fundus is palpated to go along with the "date of dernières règles" determined to estimate the approximate week of pregnancy. With a stethoscope the heart sounds of the child tries to listen, complemented by a digital-vaginal examination. Discharge, indicating a vaginal infection, approximately in the 26th SSW and about to give birth, there's a precautionary dose of Fansidar against the Palu. In the case of the above-described woman we could ever feel any fundus and the woman was ordered to the hospital for a consultation to first time to take a pregnancy test. During the consultations are underway to vaccinate the nurses the children. Unfortunately, when I were riding just gone out again once some vaccines, so that the mothers had to be told to go buy the vaccine itself in a pharmacy, cooled in ice to the hospital to get to him there to be inoculated to the child. Last
, usually by 2-3 Clock in the afternoon, after work, are also brought along an African lunch. Salad with baguettes, manioc leaves, "spinach" with dried fish, plantains or rice for example. On the return trip, the whole crew then covers mostly still on the road along the metal cans offered banana regime, pineapple, peanuts, a etc., because they are cheaper here than in Lambarene itself. In the evening we then drops dead tired to bed and hoped that the whole stampelnden, crowing, a baby in the culottes pissing not follow in his sleep. All in all a very good experience.
