Our last week

The last week in panama was full of observations and great experiences! We toured the St. Thomas hospital which was very impressive. We go to see the ICU along with other units. After we toured we went to the maternity unit dressed down into srcubs and went towards the birthing center. It was very different to see all the women in labor were all stationed in the same room until they are moved to a private delivery room to give birth. After we got to see the area where the newborn babies are taken to recieve care until the mother leaves the delivery room and moves to recovery. We all got to see the children's hospital and the oncology institute. We also went and visited the U.S. Embassy and was presented a very informative session about the roles of the US Embassy in Panama.

Today we are leaving for the airport and I am kinda sad to leave. These three weeks have been some of the best weeks ever. I learned so many new skills and had so many great experiences. I'm going to miss spending everywaking moment with my villa mates!!
