Health Talks

Today I started a new job. I will be giving the health talks to the pregnant mothers. Each morning the clinic staff give brief talks to the patients waiting in line. They discuss various things such as personal hygiene, nutrition, vaccinations, etc. There is one talk for the general patients and one for the pregnant mothers. Yesterday I shadowed Margaret as she gave a talk on nutrition and today I gave it a shot. It was a lot of fun. I introduced myself and welcomed them to the clinic. I talked to them about the importance of regular check ups during their pregnancy. Then we discussed their current diet and suggested foods that are found locally to improve their nutrition. After, I encouraged them to come to the clinic to deliver their babies. We had a nice time and I am looking forward to doing another topic next week. I may start doing the talk for the general patients too.
