Subject: Midwifery Materials for Haiti - in French/Creole - NEEDED
Hi David
I am not sure if you have seen this message from the GANM list? It would
help them to feature this on your distribution possibly?
---------------
I am writing the (GANM) community to ask for assistance in gathering
online midwifery and nursing materials - in the French or Creole language,
for Haiti.
The National Nurse School University and Faculty of Medicine in Haiti has
collapsed and they have lost most of their training materials. Dr.
Larouche was killed in that collapse - he was teaching an OB course to the
midwifery class at the time. I do not know the fate of the
nursing/midwifery students, but one can imagine that the outcome is
probably not a good one. Dr. Larouche was filling the void left by the
untimely death of Madame G.Francoeur last year (she died in an auto
accident).
Midwifery in Haiti was just recovering after the sadness of the loss of
Mme Francoeur - and the earthquake has now destroyed most everything that
they had.
Agnes Jacobs, UNFPA survived and has been emailing from Haiti. She and her
colleagues are working to pick up the pieces and try to reconstruct
materials for training midwives and nurses in life saving skills.
I am writing to members of the GANM asking for support in finding DIGITAL
materials that we can provide to Agnes for the time being. It is VERY hard
to get shipments of books and things to Haiti right now, but in the
future, I suspect that Agnes will be able to use books, and guides, and
computers to rebuild midwifery in Haiti. So eventually we will ask for
books and things, but right now it is very hard to get these types of
things to her. I know she is not alone, I know that COHI, PAHO, and many
others are on the ground. I think the GANM can work with all these others
to help in whatever way we can.
Johns Hopkins is sending a team to Haiti, including Dr. Beth Sloand who
has been travelling to Haiti with students for over a decade. Beth does
not have room to take printed materials, but she can maybe take a packed
hard drive or CDs/DVDs that we load with teaching materials. Agnes does
have a computer and internet (sporadically) - so I have been discussing
with her the potential of sending digital materials which she can start to
use right away until printed materials can be provided.
She welcomes health materials in French and or Creole primarily. They
should be materials that can *instantly be used to teach midwives and
community health workers* - so scientific articles that require
interpretation and reconstruction into teaching materials are not what I
am asking for at the moment. Right now there are no resources to turn
scientific literature into teaching materials. Do you have teaching
materials that you would be willing to share?
I would like to ask that people send either direct links to online
resources that we can copy down to a CD or send useful teaching materials
that we can put on a CD.
Please email them to the GANM or to me (pabbott2 @ son.jhmi.edu)
Regine Marton wrote already directing us to look at Hesperian and the WHO
Reproductive Library (in French). We have the Hesperian material now. The
WHO library is helpful.
If you have any quality materials for training of midwives that you would
like to donate or direct us to find, please let us know. Please send
scientifically sound materials - the last thing that Haiti needs are
questionable methods or what we call in the US "hocus-pocus" (unproven
claims or "magic").
I hope this makes sense and that the GANM community will come together to
help Haiti in a “different” way. I think what we are doing is unique –
while of course there are huge needs for emergency care and the like we
are looking one step ahead to helping Haiti rebuild its educational
infrastructure.
