Hospital Baca Ortiz is one of the biggest childrens’ hospitals in Ecuador and provides emergency as well as long-term care for Ecuadorian boys and girls. Although the hospital is state-funded, it does not have enough funds to cover patient care, and therefore even the poorest families are charged for their medical treatment. The hospital’s major units include a cancer care ward, a trauma ward, a burn unit, cardiology and repiratory units, intensive care for new borns, infants and older children, and out-patient care among many others. Children come to be treated from all over Ecuador at this location in the heart of Quito. Volunteers must be of age 18 or above with minimum education of high school.
Volunteers with the following special skills are preferred for the placement:-
Doctor Nurse Medical Student Pre-Med Student Emergency Medical Technician Standard First-Aid Health & Hygiene Training HIV/AIDS Awareness Training Medical Administration Public Health Physiotherapy Child & Youth Worker Social Worker (BSW) Social Work Student Psychologist Psychology Student Addiction Counseling Educational Games Sexual & Reproductive Health Training Natural Medicine Social Worker (MSW)
Volunteers can assist by doing following tasks:-
Volunteers are needed to help with tasks according to their certifications and abilities. General volunteers without any training that want to help out in the hospital will be doing social visits to patients, placed where there is the most need. Tasks include visiting patients, filling out charts, handing out medicines, supplies, baby diapers, and helping with the daily routine of the permanant volunteers in the hospital….Volunteers are kept very busy and are greatly valued! Volunteers who have more specialized skills or training are welcome to request to work in a unit of the hospital according to their training and abilities, which requests the hosptial will fulfill where appropriate.

Baby bereavement first things first.
When baby dies before birth is born stillborn or dies just after delivery……
If you have time you may want to think about how you might like your baby to be wrapped and treated once he/she is delivered? Perhaps you have a blanket you’d like to wrap him/her in Until you can order the baby burial clothes you need..
Who would you like to be present at delivery?
Would you like to wash your baby?
Would you like any other family members to see or hold the baby once he/she is born?
Would you like to take your own camera to hospital to take photographs of the baby?
You may want to think about who you would like to inform of your loss.
Discuss this with your partner and midwives or nursing staff.
Post mortem… sometimes a post mortem may be required.A post mortem examination is another stage in investigating a person’s illness. It is a detailed physical examination after they have died. Some post mortem examinations are legally required, others are not.

Legal Requirements
Babies Born Before 24 weeks of Pregnancy.
There are no legal requirements to bury or cremate a baby born before 24 weeks of pregnancy. However many hospitals do offer this service (as does The University Hospital Hartlepool) When a baby is born showing and shows no signs of life parents can decide to bury their child. Parents must co-sign a form with the midwife or attending doctor for the burial or cremation to take place.
Babies Born After 24 Weeks of Pregnancy
When a baby is stillborn the attending doctor will issue a Stillbirth Certificate.
If a baby is born alive and dies shortly after birth at any gestational age, the attending doctor will issue a death certificate. However, it is required by law that the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages issues a birth/death certificate for the baby. This can be arranged for the registrar to visit at the hospital or alternatively an appointment can be made at the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages. At our local hospital it can be arranged for the registrar to visit in your own home.
When a Registrar of births receives the death or stillbirth certificate parents are issued a certificate of burial. If the hospital is arranging burial this certificate must be handed over to hospital staff. Alternatively, parents who decide to make their own funeral arrangements must hand the certificate over to the Funeral Director.
Funerals
A funeral can be arranged very simply by the hospital. If you want to be more involved there are many alternatives for organising a burial, cremation, and funeral and many organisations which can help you.
Cremation Regulations
New regulations came into being in November 2008 full details are on the website below.
Families now have a right to inspect the cremation forms before the service. In many cases the doctor completing form 4 will do so with the family present. The doctor filling in this form will be providing contact details of those who cared for the person during their final illness, professionals and family, as the second doctor completing form 5 will be confirming the information given by talking to those named.
Separate forms and guidance are available regarding stillborn children. For more information visit: .justice.gov
