OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Reflections Global Health eMagazine July 2023 Week 4 Reflection Written by Asima Mian PGY3 resident, CIFC Health Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program Highlights Among the Letters Reflections Hispanic and Latinx Voices Global Local Art to Remind Us of Who We Can Be Our Beautiful Planet Voices of Ugandan Students Nursing Division Congratulations Video of the Month Article of the Month Calendar Global Health Family Photo News With the global health elective coming to an end, it’s a very bittersweet moment. I am excited to go home to my family however I feel as if I’ve created another family here in the Naggalama village. The highlight of my last week was when I got to perform a C section from start to finish. I performed a few more deliveries and spent time in the lab looking at malaria and TB under the microscope. My time in Uganda has been exceptional, I have learned, seen, and experienced so much that I would otherwise not be exposed to in the US. One of the biggest challenges I felt was trying to educate and inform patients about family planning. I treated several patients with miscarriages and many of these pregnancies were occurring while they were only 2-3 months postpartum. On my last day at the hospital, I went to check if there were any deliveries to be expected. A 26-year-old woman, G3P0 came to the hospital in labor at 39 weeks. I monitored her labor for 8 hours until she finally went into active labor. She was struggling to push with her contractions due to pain and fatigue. The baby had a nuchal cord seen in the US and the patient wanted to attempt vaginal delivery. The labor was long and tiring and she delivered a beautiful baby boy. When I asked her if she thought of a name she said, “Asim”. I smiled and told her I loved the name since it was the male version of my name. It was such a coincidence that she named the baby Asim since she did not know my first name. Uganda exceeded any expectations I had, I am very happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to experience the culture and medicine in Uganda. I cannot wait to go back!
