On Wednesday mornings in all the health centers in the Philippines immunizations are offered to all the children. It seems they have a pretty effective program and coverage. Lots of babies being seen and speaking of babies, I was able to assist in the delivery of one at the infirmary. Baby was a premie and came in a 2.2kg and was later sent to the regional hospital.
The midwifes are very good at providing both prenatal and delivery care. I've been very impressed with the quality of health care - especially at the under 5 years old group.
