A bit more on teen pregnancy here in Quito... 1 in 4, or 26% apprx of all pregnancies here are teen pregnancies (compare that to less than 10% in almost all of the developed world)... Given, here in Ecuador (and Bolivia) exist some of the highest rates in South America, but many of the other countries have rates that range from 15 to 20%...
Another interesting fact about the hospitals in Ecuador - Only public hospitals keep statistics on patients!! Can you imagine... the private hospitals and many of the employee hospitals, do not have any statistics on their patients or patient outcomes! que cosa! no?One more quick fact before I leave you today - the number one cause of post partum mortality here? ... post partum hemorrage!
wow!
I will be posting pics for the past few entries soon, I promise!
Hasta pronto
