IOWD shipped 16 huge cartons, filled with medicines, supplies and equipment for the National Hospital and Gazobe Maternity Hospital. The cartons will filled with transformers, a cystoscope, battery back-ups, and a suction machine to help in the births at the Maternity Hospital…this was a “first” for Gazobe…and very much appreciated by the doctors and midwives. Dr. Scott Eder, who donated the machine, worked with the staff, teaching them how to use this new equipment. Firmly committed to establishing an IOWD program at Gazobe Maternity, Dr. Eder began his plans for his return to Niger in 2008 with a few more surprises!
