Molli Oldenburg, UB clinical associate professor and the global initiatives coordinator for the School of Nursing, and members of her team who traveled recently to Peru, is pictured with birthing kits provided by the Zonta Club of Jamestown.

The Zonta Club of Jamestown provided 120 birthing kits for the University of Buffalo School of Nursing international medical trip to Peru.

Molli Oldenburg, UB clinical associate professor and the global initiatives coordinator for the School of Nursing, led a team of five registered nursing students and five nurse practitioner students to provide support at a women’s health clinic. Oldenburg is a member of the Buffalo Zonta Club and a friend of Mary Rappole, a member of the Zonta Club of Jamestown.

The contents of the birthing kits include a bar of soap, a new razor blade, new umbilical cord string, plastic protection, and gauze. The use of the birthing kits prevents infection and complications for the mother and infant. For more information about the Zonta Club of Jamestown go to zontajamestown.org.
