Thursday in Koutiala

We had yet another fullfilling day at the hospital. We scanned several patients in the morning with our students. They are progressing so well. Some challenges were thrown their way as some pathology cases presented. It kept us alert, too. And, as usual, Bill delivered a stellar lecture in the afternoon.

Hot facts: 38 babies have been born so far this month. And it's the 5th! The women have multiple (up to 8 pregnancies) during their lifetime. In general, one out of four children will live past 2 years. Culturally, women may take several days to bond with their newborns, as neonatal mortality is so high post delivery.
It's a quiet evening for us. Paula cooked a great meal and we're taking some time out.
