Tibet Health and Education

 

Since 2004 the Amitabha Foundation has been central in bringing birthing, health professionals and new K-8 school for the families in Rima, a very remote area surrounding the Ayang Monastery.

A small team of doctors and students visited the Ayang Gompa clinic in Rima, Eastern Tibet again in July 2015. We held review and training sessions for the two clinic doctors, the midwife, and 22 Community Health Educators. Dr. Zhao, who had also been part of the team in 2009, reviewed measuring blood pressure and monitoring fetal growth with ultrasound in pregnant women, and discussed best practices for prenatal and postnatal exams and for vaccinating infants and children.
