UOG Faculty Learn Lifesaving Skills to Control Postpartum Hemorrhaging
University of Guam nursing faculty were trained on the techniques of Helping Mothers
Survive Bleeding After Birth on August 10.
The University’s School of Health participated in a course teaching lifesaving skills on managing and controlling excessive
postpartum bleeding.
Perinatal Rescue Network Clinical Instructor Ginnie Kim conducted the training with
UOG Associate Professor of Nursing Dr. Kathryn Wood and Instructor James Finch. Kim
volunteers with the Guam Seventh Day Adventist Clinic, and with support from the organization,
she was able to provide the training to the University.
With their newfound knowledge, Wood and Finch plan to train nurses and health providers
in outer island communities and in the region.
