Physicians for Peace blogging from Nigeria
Share
If you have a few minutes today, definitely check out the Physicians for Peace blog where they’re chronicling a medical mission trip to Zaria, Nigeria made up of a team of PfP volunteers and headed by Robin Jones, a registered nurse and women’s health care nurse practitioner.
The volunteers are working with local clinics there as part of a larger goal of helping sub-Saharan African countries reach the Millennium Development Goals. They are also there to provide education “so that those who are assisting during labor will have the knowledge they need to help prevent trauma to the mother and protect the health of the baby.”
Robin documents days 1 and 2 of her trip here, and days 3 and 4 here. She also managed to snap these great photos:
