Children Solace Support Organization

We're glad to have another opportunity to serve in the community.

Two weeks ago, Children Solace Support Organization trained 30 health workers from 15 primary health centers in Enugu South LGA on "Essential Newborn Care".

Our goal is to equip the primary health care workers with knowledge, skills and equipment for newborn resuscitation.
Each health center was given a bag and mask (ambu bag), penguin suction and algorithm for Essential Newborn Care.

Special appreciation to Dr. Kourtney Bettinger for the collaboration on the ICATCH project, Prof Kene Iloh, Dr. Chinelo Obiora-Izuka, Dr. Chinenye Jideofor, Dr. Melody Emma-Egba, Dr Oguchi Uzo, Onyinye Okafor and my dear Children Solace volunteers.
You all made this possible.

Looking forward to the refresher trainings. Also looking forward to more collaborations with organizations etc to improve access to healthcare.
