Subject:	childbirth education in Slovakia
Body:	<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By Archived User on 07/09/2005 3:53 PM<br>Dear Ms.Goer, <BR> <BR>It has been a little over a month since I first met you at your presentation in Charlottesville - I was that girl from Slovakia whom you talked about your trip to Prague and success with Czech translation of your book. I m currently in Slovakia and was wondering whether there is a way I can make my first modest contribution to childbirth awareness or even first steps towards change in the hospitals. <BR> <BR>I m ICEA certified instructor and recently started to teach at UVA hospital as we moved here, but I have taught at various location, including Slovakia and Germany and I love it! I have MPH degree in public health from TX and another graduate teaching degree in biology from SLovakia. <BR> <BR>While in SLovakia, my initial thoughts about the needs here areI <BR>a, train childbirth instructors to give informed choices to childbearing families - these should first be midwives I think , then it can extend further <BR>b, conduct informative workshops for OB-GYNs and nurses about current trends in childbirth preparation based on the compiled data <BR>c, conduct original data collection on what is the situation here really like in hospitals <BR> <BR>I realize these are all huge projects, but is there anything you feel I could be useful here for? I have had couple of articles published here in Slovak magazine for women about childbirth, but that s truly just a tiny contribution and I wish I could do more. <BR> <BR>Best regards from Slovakia, and thank you for inspiring my mind with your book and words, <BR>Sylvia Metzger <BR> By: Sylvi</div><br><br>
