Training health care
professionals is one thing, but for the health
care professionals, if you want them to save
lives, unless that training is supported by hands-on
skill practice, unless that training is
supported by materials, equipment, to function, to
work, it doesn't make sense. And what makes the special
difference in LDS Charities is, for all training
they are providing, they also provide the necessary
materials and equipment for the health care
providers they are training. As a woman, as a
mother, no woman gets pregnant to lose her
baby on the day of birth. And as a health care provider,
as a nurse, if you are there, if the mother is trusting
you that you are the one who is going to help her,
given that if you don't have the knowledge,
if you don't have the skill, if you don't have any
hands-on training, which means that the woman is in your
hands, and if she survives, if her baby survives
or not, depends upon your knowledge and skill. So for me, it means that having
training, having competency, having confidence to save
lives is more than anything.
