Rotary Taking Action:
Featuring Andrea Cassidy 

Please join us, Monday, May 8th at 5:30 PM for an inspirational presentation by Andrea Cassidy, founder and Lead Midwife of the Midwifery Collective Essex County.

She will be unveiling the details of her upcoming trip with her Vocational Training Team (VTT) with the goal of reducing infant mortality rates in the remote villages of Tanzania.

September 2023, the team will travel to Masaai villages in the Siha district, Tanzania, to educate traditional birth attendants. The team includes Andrea Cassidy (Rotarian and Lead Midwife), Dr. Idris Yekinni (OBGYN), Lin Stephenson (Registered Nurse), and Leesha Mafuru (Registered Midwife).

For the past two years, the VTT team, with the support of PANETA (NGO), has developed the curriculum for this project which includes Respectful Maternity Care, Hand Washing and Infection Control and Sepsis, Essential Newborn Care, Risk Factors and Transport, Ultrasound Training (Introduction to the benefits and diagnostic purpose), and Bleeding after birth. 

 

The VTT team will bring a portable ultrasound machine to the Siha District. The machine, its transport and installation, are a personal donation from Ms. Rita Rampure, the previous owner of CMR Healthcare Imaging.

This is the first of two trips scheduled to support women in Tanzania.
