Shadowing Dr. Esther Kawira and Nurse Daniel
Adrianne Cornette, Brianna Tomasi, Carly Rittenhouse, Sruthi Sundaram
These students shadowed SHED’s primary physician, Dr. Esther Kawira, at the Sota Clinic where they were able to sit in on patient visits and witness physical exams that she conducted. Dr. Esther Kawira also showed them around her location where she conducts free ultrasounds twice a week for the local villagers and she performed an ultrasound on one of them to show the group how the machine works. Later in the trip, they were able to interview the nurse, Daniel, who runs by himself the Roche Health Clinic—a clinic built by Village life in partnership with the local community—while also living there. They were able to sit down and ask him questions about supplies he uses, types of patient he primarily sees, what he likes about working there and what he thinks should be improved and the type of training he’s had. |
