Back ground
Community based education (CBE) is introduced to the
world in the late 1970’s as a response to a popular demand
that education should give service to the society.
The Community-based Training Program is an integrated institutional
program that runs in phases from the first year to graduation.
It involves students, the communities and government departments
responsible for health, education, water sanitation and technology.
It has promoted an integrated, holistic approach in addressing societal
problems.

In 2016, 91% of the world’s population did not breathe
clean air, and more than half of urban population were
exposed to outdoor air pollution levels at least 2.5 times
above the safety standard set by WHO.
It has been estimated that in 2016 outdoor air pollution in
both cities and rural areas caused 4.2 million deaths
worldwide.
Taken together, indoor and outdoor air pollution caused an
estimated 7 million deaths- one in eight deaths globally in
2016 (WHO; 2018. available at:

Access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking has
marginally improved and in 2016 reached 59% globally
an increase of 10 percentage points since 2000.
The resulting household air pollution is estimated to
have caused 3.8 million deaths from NCDs (including

In sub-Saharan Africa, open defecation rates increased
from 204 to 220 million (WHO/UNICEF, 2017).
Unsafe drinking water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene
also remain important causes of death, with an estimated
870 000 associated deaths occurring in 2016 globally (WHO;

Bindle's Ring-
The retraction ring seen as a depression across the abdomen at about the level of the umbilicus
Is a warning sign of an impending uterine rupture
The three tumors are due to:
Grossly thickened and retracted upper uterine segment above Bandl’s ring;
Thinly distended lower uterine segment bellow the ring;
Fully distended or/ and edematous bladder further distending the lower abdomen
Diagnosis could be more difficult if rupture is incomplete or the tear is small. In this case,
The fetus will remain at least partially in the uterus
signs of shock are delayed until after delivery because the pressure of the fetus prevents bleeding to some extent
Symptoms could be initially very slight, and labor may even continue
Suspect rupture if the fetus suddenly becomes distressed and the mother’s pulse starts rising
Rupture of a uterus with a previous scar may be silent
