Vy Sovanna, a midwife working with PSI Cambodia, promotes a local clinic, to be held the following day, providing birth control for local women.
PSI (Population Services International) is working in this area to provide counselling and access to birth control to women as part of their reproductive health program.
PSI is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that harnesses the vitality of the private sector to address the health problems of low-income and vulnerable populations in more than 60 developing countries. With programs in malaria, reproductive health, child survival, HIV and tuberculosis, PSI promotes products, services and healthy behavior that enable low-income and vulnerable people to lead healthier lives. Products and services are sold at subsidized prices rather than given away in order to motivate commercial sector involvement.

If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”

Bill Gates: “The world today has 6.8 billion people—that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”

Today's Issues:
One of the toughest issues in the Philippine political scene is reproductive health options. Being in a generally catholic country, the catholic church intervenes, and is a big factor, with such kinds of morality issues.
But unfortunately, we are still classified as a 3rd world country, thus, poverty and cost of living are issues that should be addressed as well.
FAVE ME means, favor me. I want the bill passed, if you're catholic (like I am) you have a choice, but choices are not protections. The best protection is loyalty.
Now, if you practice extra-marital affairs, you may be protected now by using rubber, but you wont be protected from hell.

I was in a Philippine Department of Health (DOH) Government Hospital the other day. I spent most of my day at the Charity Maternity Ward.
I was talking with this mother and she told me this is her seventh child. Out of those, only five survived. Her eldest is now nineteen years old. She hopes to have a ligation as soon as she can leave this ward. I hope so too.
This hospital is strictly "breastfeeding" only. No infant formulas, no milk can be brought into the hospital. Every visitor is inspected. Kudos!

Infant mortality rates in Malawi are still high. FOCUS’ work empowers women to advocate for the resources and facilities that they need so that mothers and babies can receive a better standard of care.
Papua New Guinea: 19-year-old Sima Billy is pregnant and since her partner left her 6 months ago, she’s been on her own. She lives in Mirigini village in Port Moresby with her mother and she worries about the future for her baby. Sima got encouragement from a community health volunteer to go early to the hospital. With distances sometimes dauntingly far from informal settlements and the level of care uncertain, many women in Papua New Guinea don’t get the antenatal care that could save lives. Because Sima built that relationship with the midwives and doctors, she’s been taking iron tablets and eating fresh vegetables when she and her mother can afford them.

Doctors, midwives and psychosocial counsellors are essential in any humanitarian crisis, offering lifesaving support to pregnant women and new mothers and their infants. They conduct essential check-ups, help deliver babies amid truly challenging settings - often using UNFPA’s reproductive health kits - and tend to the special needs of women and girls which are otherwise overlooked in a crisis. This doctor at the Rural Health Center near Thatta in Sindh Province, Pakistan is just one of the many women humanitarians providing critical health services with care and compassion globally.

This is before they came and got me and wheeled me into the operating room. I was starting to hurt a bit, as the pain medication I had taken the night before was finally wearing off (oxycodone ~ thank God it's 12 hour) but overall was feeling ok. I was looking forward to having the source of the pain *GONE* and out of my life. I wasn't as nervous as I usually am before surgery at this point... I was mostly just thinking, "OK let's get this over with..."
One of the surgery assistants came and he wheeled me down the hall, to the elevator... Erik came behind us and held my hand in the elevator, and then we parted ways ~ he went to get coffee and wait in the waiting area, and I, into the OR area. The assistant wheeled me over to a wall, and said, "OK wait here, we'll come and get you in a minute," and walked off to go talk about the iPad with some other people who looked like other surgery assistants.
A few minutes later the anesthesiologist came and spoke with me about what would be going on, asked out my medical history, confirmed that I'm the patient they thought I was, and then he patted my hand and said the doctor would be out to speak with me in a minute.
So then there was a little more waiting, in which time I was still laying on the bed in the hallway, listening to the conversations in the hall around me and trying not to start feeling really incredibly nervous... and then my doctor came out and spoke with me. We went over some last minute things, concerns and such, and she told me what was going to happen during and after surgery, and I asked if I could use a restroom and she reassured me that I would have a catheter during surgery but that of course it was ok if I went before, too. A nurse came and showed me to a bathroom, and I went (I'm always super nervous before surgery and have to pee even when I don't really have to pee :p )... And then I got back on the bed and they wheeled me into the operating room. ~ I didn't really pay much attention to the room itself (or if I did I don't remember it, which is more likely). The only thing I remember is that there was an instrument that was covered in what looked like a long black tea cosy, and I was thinking, Is that the Laparoscope?? If so how is it possibly sterile?! ~ And there was white tile and white sheets, and a big circular thingy ... Zac you're probably laughing at this description right now, I have no idea what all this stuff was. It was like a circle with lights set into a big white boxy thingy (and the machine that goes *Ping!*). Oh and a window area that looked like where people go to wash up...?
Anyway... They had me move over to the operating table and they laid me down. I felt someone (a nurse?) place their hands on the sides of my head and stroke my forehead a little, reassuring... Then the anesthesiologist said, "OK things are going to get a little fuzzy around the edges, just go ahead and let yourself go to sleep," and I started counting backward in my head from 99 (habit left over from the other times I've been under). By 96 I was starting to wonder what the next number would be :: lol :: At about 94 my eyes kept closing and I could feel the surgery tech people or nurses, whoever it was doing it, strapping my legs and arms down to the table (common so that patients don't fall off I guess?) ~ and by 90 everything was suddenly very soft and black.
Next thing I knew I was waking up shaking and spazzing and hurting a *LOT*, and feeling really sick to my stomach, and then arguing with the nurse because she gave me the wrong medicine (she gave me fentanyl, which it even says in my chart I react badly to :: grr :: )... and then arguing with her again minutes later because she wouldn't let me get up and go to the bathroom. ~ Post-anesthesia recovery was the worst time I had honestly... after they finally agreed to let me go to the bathroom (this was after they threatened to call security on me ~ HA HA HA :p :p ~ they decided I was well enough to be discharged, and had someone come and wheel me back upstairs. I must have slept for that part, because I don't remember that at all...
Next thing I remember I was back in this room, the room I was in before surgery, and Erik came in and saw me and gave me hugs, and helped me get dressed. A nurse came with a wheelchair, and Erik went and got the car and... then I was able to go home! =]

Across the world, a disproportionately high pregnancy rate among young girls in rural and impoverished areas has had a profoundly negative effect on their opportunities for education, health, and long-term employment. Nine in ten births among young girls occur within marriage or a union. Girls from ethnic minorities or marginalized groups are at greater risk. In the United Nations Population Fund’s latest State of World Population report, launched at the Wilson Center, the authors analyze not only the root causes of these inequities, but also solutions.

Daw Khu Li village, Deemawsoe township, Kayah state. ‘I was not feeling well. I was vomiting and shaking,’ explains Ku Saw Reh. Ku Saw Reh’s situation is familiar to many in Myanmar who live with the constant threat of malaria. According to the World Health Organization more than 40 million people in Myanmar live in malaria-endemic areas, In 2010 alone the country reported 650,000 cases.

Daw Khu Li village, Deemawsoe township, Kayah state. Trained by a local Christian Aid partner, Mi Myar plays a vital role in helping to reduce morbidity and mortality rates in Daw Khu Li. She raises awareness around good health and hygiene practices, distributes insecticide-treated mosquito nets, and can spot the signs and symptoms of malaria. ‘You have to change people’s way of thinking - to make them see how important these things are,’ she explains. ‘With the skills I’ve learnt and the support I’ve received, I believe I can do this - if not instantly, then certainly over time.’

The lower one (above my pubic bone) has been bleeding a bit on and off since this afternoon, just now aggravated again by laughing at an ONN video. =p sometimes I feel dumb lol...
This is a seriously gross pic to me, but on the other hand I think it's totally important that these images get out there!! I don't think enough people *SEE* what Endometriosis does to women, their lives, and their bodies. If enough people saw it, maybe people would talk about it... and if people TALK about it eventually maybe we'd have more hope of a cure.
(( hugs )) to all my Endo sisters.
Direct Relief has partnered with the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) and the Abbott Fund in Kabul and Herat to create a three-pronged Maternal-Child Health Program that focuses on education and training, nutritional support, and clinical services.
Direct Relief and Abbott Fund began supporting AIL to train female midwives to provide skilled assistance during labor and delivery, as well as care for infants and children.
AIL conducts multi-day women’s workshops on such topics as hygiene, disease prevention, nutrition, breastfeeding, and reproductive health. AIL began a program for expectant mothers and caregivers that teaches women what to expect in pregnancy; the importance of birthing with a trained birth attendant; and danger signs to recognize during pregnancy, delivery, and post partum.

Sixteen million girls between the ages of 15 and 19, and two million girls under 15 give birth every year. The majority of these girls are married. “Unprotected sexual activity contributes to a number of social risks and negative health outcomes for many young women and adolescent girls, including issues such as early pregnancy, STIs [sexually transmitted infections], HIV infection, obstetric fistula, unsafe abortion, nutrition outcomes, and gender-based violence,” said USAID’s Monique Widyono at the Wilson Center.

It started bleeding a little at the hospital, which they said was normal... after I woke up from my nap yesterday afternoon, I found it had been bleeding all over my heating pad. :o I was like, HOLY SHHIIIIIIT~!!!! Screamed, called Erik in, who turned off the pad for me and washed it off. We called the hospital, who said not to worry :o and called my dr and left a message.
I bandaged it myself (spongebob, Yeaaah!) and it hasn't bled since. ~O.o~
I was in a Philippine Department of Health (DOH) Government Hospital for a day. I spent most of my time at the Charity Maternity Ward. This is what I saw.

Daw Khu Li village, Deemawsoe township, Kayah state. Health volunteers like Mi Myar are trained to spot and attend to minor ailments such as headaches, stomach aches, coughs and colds, alongside more serious complaints such as high blood pressure and signs and symptoms of malaria. More than 1,800 trained and trusted volunteers are serving their communities and showing how very simple changes in behaviour, like using a mosquito net, maintaining a clean home and seeking medical help when you feel unwell, can make a huge difference.
