A steady stream of patients lined both sides of the road as the vans approached the site.  The site was well prepared and the nurses from North Dakota were quickly assigned to provide care and counseling to the rapidly increasing crowd. Two CMMB volunteers, Jim and Barbara Murphy, had arrived. They traveled for two hours by van with Dr. Bill Hunter, and nurses and volunteers from North Dakota to PCEA Chogoria Hospital in Thuroko, Kenya.  They brought medications, medical supplies and dental instruments.

This summer, CMMB’s Director of Strategic Information, Sara Melillo, spoke at the Neonatal Advanced Practice Nursing Forum in D.C.  about CMMB’s work with neonatal asphyxia and resuscitation in Zambia. She was invited to speak by Madge Buus-Frank, a nurse practitioner and Ph.D student who is evaluating retention of skills and knowledge of the HBB curriculum for her dissertation.
