Nowadays, even at home births, most women use the lithotomy position-lying on their backs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1533475803292-AJ80O44YIIIN5CRVKCSF/fullsizeoutput_3a5.jpeg Photos from the Field - Pregnant for the first time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1424416920806-AB8EWJOXI3ER240JXG37/image-asset.jpeg Photos from the Field - Village number 1 On day three in this village we arrived in a cloud! Though the weather was not great, everyone still came out to participate in our discussions. My research assistant and I learned a ton and were sad to finish up here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1424416272415-WS27CDY3JRMHEE51IV1X/image-asset.jpeg Photos from the Field - Women's Focus Group Discussion Participants The enthusiastic participants of my first women's focus group discussion in which we talked about general life in their community, their relationships with men, and health care services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1397937375680-HEBDZFJHX745HFE5AP42/DSC_0159.JPG Photos from the Field - The boat we donated to the District Medical Office This is the boat that is now working to bring pregnant women and other emergency cases from the shores of Lake Rukwa to the Mtowisa Health Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1398179752262-EOALZ50L2XHE1BGI683Q/DSC_0111.JPG Photos from the Field - Ngoma As part of the White Ribbon Day celebrations, Sukuma men in Mtowisa performed some traditional dances and music, known as an ngoma. In this picture I particularly enjoy how you can see the development of material culture. Next to the dancer on the right, who is wearing a mask carved from wood, we can see a dancer who has fashioned his headdress/mask out of an old teapot. Other dancers were wearing headdresses made out of old rubber boots and other found materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1399308790823-TYT3J34IMSAF0MZJAAGW/DSC_0122.JPG Photos from the Field - White Ribbon Day White Ribbon Day is celebrated each year in March to raise awareness and commemorate those women who have died due to pregnancy-related complications and those babies who have died shortly after birth. This year it took place in Mtowisa village where they have just finished building and equipping a new operating theatre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1401110873930-YYSS7ZCCA1F9FQN0AIJQ/DSC_0276.JPG Photos from the Field - Wedding celebrations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1401110897087-NAZJQKJD7M9E4XGV5ODM/DSC_0101.JPG Photos from the Field - Itwelele Mountain, Sumbawanga https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1401110917246-8PE9MH4QLI4ZVYET6TOI/IMG_0149.JPG Photos from the Field - Maternity ward organization I attempted to help the nurses set up 5S organization on the ward. 5S is a method for standardizing the set-up of supplies and documents on the ward and throughout the hospital. Adherence has been a bit difficult, particularly at the end of the night shifts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52604be7e4b01eed04df3ca4/1401111051205-YLDV7DDQ25MPI8CBS8LR/IMG_0153.JPG Photos from the Field - C-section babies under the warmer The hospital has seen an increase in the number of C-sections recently. It is not uncommon these days to have upwards of ten or more C-sections in a 24 hour period. While this may not seem like very many, it represents an increase for this hospital.
