Hi Julie,   Not sure about being wise but I may be able to help you with your plan to visit India.   In January this year, I happened to be in India and visited 2 big private hospitals in Delhi - Ganga Ram and the Apollo. Managed to talk a few key people, Administrator, DON, Head of School of Nursing, Obstetricians etc.   I am pretty sure they would welcome volunteers. In fact, the Head of SON of Ganga Ram asked me if there is any exchange program in placed so the nurses could gain experience in Australia.   If you like to know more, please email off the list so I could give you a few contacts. Just need to hunt for them. I had some photos as well of my visit.   Ping Bullock (nee Lerchbacher) PO Box 5569 Mackay Mail Centre Mackay 4741   Phone: 07 49 527 640 Mobile: 0422 583 825 Fax: 07 49 527 606           ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Garratt To: Ozmid ; Bmid Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 9:27 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] midwifery in India Hello wise people:)                            A few of the Bmid students and I are planing a trip to India this Christmas to experience midwifery in another culture. What we're wondering is have any of you been over there and had any birth experiences with Indian women. Do you think we could volenteer at a hospital or midwifery clinic? Does anyone have any contacts? Were only in the planning stages at the moment and your imput would be great. Cheers, Julie'',    --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
