It is an appropriate day to say that nurses from 4 different countries are together teaching and learning on a Neonatal Care Course in Zimbabwe run by NICHE International.
In many countries, nurses with extended skills are critical in caring for newborn babies. They are sometimes working in places where there are no doctors with specialist skills, so their ability to manage vulnerable neonates is invaluable. They also help to train colleagues to improve the standards of care in neonatal units.
Elizabeth, who comes from Uganda, is one of the NICHE trainers currently in the Queen of Peace Mission Hospital, Murambinda running Neonatal Care Courses.
At home in Uganda, Elizabeth is head of paediatric nursing at the Bwindi Community Hospital in South -West Uganda.
The Kampala International University Surgical Society photographed Elizabeth with a sick baby when they visited Bwindi, and have published the photo to mark International Nurse’s day.
