Hello Jo,
No, the list can't handle attachments. If people would like a copy of your 
picture, perhaps they can ask you to email them off the list?

RE: [ozmidwifery] has anyone heard this?

[Dr Barbara Vernon]

Dear Cath and ozmidders,

 

The Australian College of Midwives has had contact with a number of people
in Indonesia, including the Indonesian Midwives Association.  We are
currently talking to them about how best we might be able to provide some
assistance, such as basic birth kits which could be used by surviving
midwives to assist women giving birth in the refugee camps.  They have
advised us that due to the trauma of the Tsunami, many women are giving
birth prematurely without even a sterile clamp for the baby's cord.  

 

The College has also been talking to the Australian Government (Department
of Foreign Affairs and Dept of Health) about whether any donations we can
generate could be co-ordintated by them to avoid delays at customs etc.  But
they are no longer accepting donations of medical supplies from
organizations or individuals - instead they are sourcing things directly
from manufacturers.  

 

We are working on finding a solution to organizing some aid assistance for
midwives and women soon.  

 

Regards Barb.

Thanks for posting the story. I had been wondering what was happening to all
the women needing midwifery care in these places. The story gave no
indication if there are any aid groups providing midwifery care. From the
news it seems that the focus of medical/nursing care is emergency/trauma.

Do any of the Australian midwifery groups/associations have connections to
the Indonesian Midwives association?

Midwives' deaths compound tsunami tragedies 



LAMBREH, Indonesia (AP) - Some women have been forced to deliver their
newborns in dark tents without even a bar of soap, using shards of bamboo to
cut the umbilical cords. Others have had to walk through miles of jungle for
prenatal help.

 

 

 

 

 

After surviving the tsunami, many women are facing the danger of giving
birth alone - a grim legacy of the loss of hundreds of midwives among the
disaster's dead.

It breaks my heart to see mothers forced to cut the cord by themselves,
said Fitriana, a volunteer from Solidaritas Perempuan, a women's aid group.
It's very dangerous for the mother and baby because all of the things used
are not sterile.

The Indonesian Midwives Association says 30% - about 1,650 - of its members
on the northern tip ofSumatraisland died in the Dec. 26 catastrophe. Many
who survived are too traumatized to resume work or lack equipment to safely
deliver babies.

Those still working are overwhelmed. Revita and her sister, Syukriah, have
set up a makeshift clinic in a refugee camp in a clearing tucked in the lush
green hills above the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.

Revita says the two plan to stay in the camp, despite endless problems,
including a scare Thursday when Indonesian soldiers attacked suspected
separatist rebels in a nearby forest. Bursts of gunfire sent camp residents,
pregnant women among them, diving to the ground in fear.

I cannot leave them, I have to stay here and help, said Revita, who like
many Indonesians uses one name. There are so many pregnant women.

Revita knows the problems firsthand. Two weeks ago, she gave birth to her
own child in a dark tent without even a piece of soap - to say nothing of
basic obstetric care.

Syukriah used scissors to cut the umbilical cord of her sister's newborn.
Other mothers have used bamboo shards.

The newborn, Zakira, - which means tent in Arabic - wriggled in her mother's
arms. A thin prayer book was tucked under her small pillow.

For the moment, she is healthy, Syukriah said. But, the nights are cold
and there are so many mosquitoes. We have only thin tents.

The U.N. Population Fund estimates there are nearly 15,000 pregnant women
among the survivors inIndonesia, many of whom lost husbands and other
relatives in the tsunami. More than 800 are due to give birth within a
month.

The lack of midwives is compounded by the scarcity of doctors in the region.
Some 2,000 health workers have been sent to Aceh, including nine midwives
who are struggling to keep up with the demand.

Revita and Syukriah set up their clinic with no medicine, improvising by
crushing medicinal roots to make ointment for babies with skin rashes or
fevers.

I fear for Zakira's future and my own 2-month-old baby, Syukriah said,
rocking the infants in

Thanks for filling us in on what is happening. Please keep us posted about
any developments with the kind of aid that might be given to these midwives
and women and their babies.
I do have a keen interest in Indonesia - lived there for 10 years and am
feeling for the mothers of Aceh.

[ozmidwifery] Looking for a hand.

[paulandsara]

Hello there, 

I am a qualified midwife from Belgium, and at the moment I am partaking in
‘Supervised Practice’ in the Angliss Hospital (Ferntree Gully) in order to be
recognized by the Victorian Nurses Board. I will complete this at the end of
February, and am beginning to explore available employment opportunities.  I
would absolutely love a position in a Birthing Centre and am very interested in
whether you may be able to help me find work in this area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really looking forward to finally
start doing what I have always wanted to do. You are more than welcome to send
ideas and/or suggestions to my email address.

Look forward to hearing for you, 




Much thanks, Sara De Houwer.
