One of the patient populations that we serve is women of
childbearing age. We see a large number of women for prenatal care and
follow-up after delivery.
Many of our patients deliver at home with the help of a lay
midwife from their community, and our goal is to identify the patients that are
at high risk for complications.
We offer education on nutrition, warning signs in pregnancy, and
breastfeeding with each of our expectant moms and round out the visit with a
prayer for their safety and development as a parent.
Anyone who presents with diabetes or elevated blood pressure or
breech presentation during their pregnancy gets referred to the National
Hospital for care and delivery.
If all is well we gift them a Clean Delivery Kit with supplies for
their midwife and a change of clothes for the baby.
We love taking care of our prenatal patients, and they appreciate
the attention and prayers that we offer on their behalf. It is such a blessing when they proudly
bring back their newborns for a visit.
