Wellness committee’s Clean Birth Kits on their way to Banjul

Earlier this year, the UW Department of Ob-Gyn Wellness Committee brought faculty, advanced practice providers, midwives, and staff together for a volunteer wellness activity to assemble clean birth kits. In collaboration with Awa Sanneh, MD, assistant professor in the Division of Academic Specialists in Ob-Gyn, the birth kits are on their way to Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) in the Gambia! 

The Clean Birth Kit (CBK) Program allows Global Health Charities to provide training and supplies to childbirth staff in order to improve the safety of both mother and child during the birthing process.   

Thanks to all who participated in the assembly activity and facilitated sharing the kits with colleagues overseas!
