SAN JOSE, Antique – The provincial hospital now has a new a fetal monitor.
The equipment which is used to detect and trace the fetal heart rate and uterine contraction was donated by The Rotary Foundation in Antique.
Rotary Club members in Antique led by Donabelle Panaligan turned over the fetal monitor to the Angel Salazar Memorial General Hospital on Sept. 28.
The donation was part of the Rotary International’s Global Grant, said Panaligan.
“Timing gid nga wara naga–gana ang fetal monitor ka aton ospital,” she added.
The information that healthcare providers get using the fetal monitor helps them decide whether or not to intervene in the birth process.
