In places where Coronavirus restrictions are starting to ease, the challenge is ensuring that people who rely on IMPACT’s clinics and hospitals can once again access life-transforming operations and medical care. IMPACT Bangladesh's hospitals - including the floating hospital - are slowly and carefully reopening some services. 96 people benefited from sight-restoring cataract surgery in June. And in other hopeful news, IMPACT India's Lifeline Express hospital train is scheduled to arrive in Tripura next month, to stage its first project since the start of the pandemic #ActionTodayToPreventDisabilityTomorrow #TakingTheHospitalToThePeople You can support IMPACT here 🙏https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/donation-web/charity?charityId=1001682&utm_source=extbtn&utm_campaign=donatebtn ...

IMPACT takes action to prevent and treat needless disability
IMPACT East Africa - ‘We continue to sensitize t IMPACT East Africa - ‘We continue to sensitize the communities in rural Mwingi on how to protect themselves from getting infected with the virus. We visited Katoo and Kakunguu markets where we donated a handwashing station and also shared with the community on the importance of keeping social distance, regular washing their hands and having their masks on at all times they are in public spaces. More and more people in the villages are becoming aware of ways in which they need to protect themselves’ #KomeshaKorona

In memory of Yahya Al Sawafy, Chair of IMPACT Zanz In memory of Yahya Al Sawafy, Chair of IMPACT Zanzibar, who has died after testing positive for the Coronavirus. Yahya was in his early 60s and was a much loved and respected member of the IMPACT family. He was at the forefront of co-ordinating IMPACT's response to the Coronavirus in Zanzibar, having the foresight to put in place plans to protect healthworkers, feed hungry families and care for the seriously ill - well before there were any confirmed cases on the islands. His leadership and wise counsel will be greatly missed in Zanzibar and beyond.

Our longstanding supporter Emma is an NHS midwife Our longstanding supporter Emma is an NHS midwife 💙…Here in an interview with Instagram's @theNewNormalNow she describes the impact that coronavirus has had on her day to day: “The women that are coming in...they're really worried for the health of their babies mainly” . "But you can't prepare them for when they actually come in, you can see on their faces the shock and the kind of realisation, the seriousness of it, you know” . “As soon as that lady leaves the delivery suite, her husband says goodbye and that's it. They don't know when they're gonna meet again” . “I mean, it could be the next day if breastfeeding goes really well. It could be five days if suddenly we find an infection and the baby's got to go on antibiotics. It's a very unknown thing for the father to have to leave and not to be able to support his wife and not to have that bonding time with his baby. It's really sad and stressful. It's not easy for anyone to say goodbye at that stage. It's the time where you're supposed to be celebrating the arrival of your new baby. And its the saddest thing ever” . “Then to have to sit there and comfort the mum when you've got a face mask, hat, gown and gloves on. I'm trying to reassure her when she can't even see the whole of my face and you can't even have that nice skin to skin contact when you are holding her hands” . “After a twelve and a half hour shift I find it difficult coming home and talking to my husband about anything. I normally just sit on the sofa and watch a film and go to bed. But now you're going home, there's nothing left. Because it is just so emotional” . “We are still midwives at the end of the day and we still love our jobs. We still want to be there for you, we still want to support you. We're gonna be a team with you through this childbirth process. Please be reassured, we are smiling underneath our masks” . “And remember the end goal of this is you're gonna walk away with a lovely little bubba in your arms and this will be just a memory. You'll be at home feeding your baby, thinking, what was all the fuss about?” . #nhs #health #nhsheroes #midwife #frontline #keyworker #covid19 #stayhome #documentary #interview #reportage #social
