It was a bittersweet day for SANA as it certified its last group of trainees at Aboujaoude Hoapital. Today, 8 outstanding midwives, who have been working diligently over an intense 5 weeks, received their ISUOG Certification. This brings the total number of SANA’s Outreach trainees to 45, not counting the 10 trainees who recieived the ISUOG BT certification last month.

 

Over the past 5 weeks, the trainees have had intense theoretical as well as hands-on and simulation-based training. They had all passed their practical examination last week and they took their theortical exam today where 4 of the 8 scored 100%.

 

The ceremony was held at Aboujaoude Hospital in the presence of Drs. Imad Aboujaoude, Nabil Helou and SANA’s Reem S. Abu-Rustum. In addition, Ms. Rita Akiki, the Director of the maternity was in attendance.

 

Drs. Aboujaoude and Helou handed the trainees their certificates and Dr. Reem S. Abu-Rustum pinned them with SANA’s pin.

 

It was a moment of great pride for SANA for what has been accomplished by the new trainees hoping they shall continue to spread SANA’s teachings in the future. As alwas, SANA is ever so grateful to ISUOG and ISUOG Outreach for the support and inspiration…
