Philippine Hospital vs USA Hospital vs Glory Reborn

The longer I am here, the more my eyes are opened to how good I have it in the USA. Take the hospitals. In America, most rooms have only 1-4 patients and each having their own bed. The nurses are assigned to 1-8 patients depending on the severity of their condition. The rooms are designed to be feel warm and friendly and to categorize to your every need. There is a supplies, pharmacy, and staff readily available. The technology is always improving.

Below are some pictures of an American Hospital rooms 

The Philippine Hospital are so different. 

They have a 1-4 patients to a bed. The rooms are filled with rows of beds that are filled with to over flowing with patients. The rooms are crowed with families, medical staff, and patients. The ratio of nurses to patients is like 1 to 30. One nurse told me that at one point she was responsible for 90 patients. Yikes!! The patents don't have the room service or supplies like the America offers. They are responsible for buying their supplies and bringing them in. So the medicines, dressing changing, and even at times their food.


What really hit hard was how lacking in technology. They do not have the life saving ventilator that we have in our ICU.












Some one, friend or family member, must sit there and bag the patient. This is so hard to do sense they may not give enough air or they may give too much. We all get tired. Just think how tiring this would be.











This experience to witness these conditions, has left me grateful for what is available in the USA, but also ashamed of the complaining I have done that they don't treat their staff well. When I look at the staff in the Philippines, it leaves me no room for complaining.


Glory Reborn

So how does Gory reborn fit into this? They have a vision to be more than a clinic. To be able to offer a place that they can take care of the critical ill moms and babies. To offer an environment where it is safe to have babies and to be treated with respect.

The clinic is a blessing to these it sees. They strive to educate, encourage, share Jesus, and listen. It is a place that I only wish that the American maternity units could be like. Jesus fills this place to over flowing with his presents. I have been blessed and encouraged by just being apart of the staff.

It is amazing how far our American money will go in a country that has none. $40 us will supply all the needs of a mom and baby through pre to post pregnancy. This allows them to offer free services to the patients with them only have to pay for supplies which at times only cost a few dollars. I pray, that God leading, that you will consider a donation. The more donations, the more the clinic can grow.

Thank you!!!
