Quotes from a conversation with a nurse in Well-Baby clinic (Tipat Chalav), Arad

 

​

Privacy

​

"...Outside I'm exposed from all directions to the looks of outsiders..."

​

"...going outside feels inconvenience and Lack of privacy. The feeling that I'm being seen, my face is familiar around here..."

​

"...If I want to make a private phone call or I need some time to myself there's a bench outside, but it is not enough..."

​

​

Comfort

​

"...There is no specific place for a lunch break. usually we eat in the nurse room..."

​

"...Staff meetings are done in the waiting area..."

​

"...The rooms are small and there is not enough space for the treatments..."

​

​

Health care conditions

​

"...The temperature is very critical for babies. The structure is too cold most of the year and not insulated enough..."

​

"...It is important to have communication between the rooms. Window, transition or an access to go outside..."

​

"...Rooms that need to be separated is a kitchenette and a breastfeeding room..."

​

"...sink is needed in every nurse's room. A position for preparing vaccines. Sterilization needs to be separate from food..."

​

"There's no diaper change area here and the fridge is small..."

​

​

Community

 

"There is a uniqueness in the encounter between women from different sectors in 'Tipat Chalav' sometimes there's a cultural contradictions..."
