Hi everyone,
I wonder is anyone on this list an expert in the culture(s) of Benin?
In the service where I work, which is in rural Ireland, we have just
been referred a person from Benin & the referral makes reference to
some cultural practices that no-one on the team is familiar with,
including some West African colleagues.
I am keen to see this patient this week as the referral indicates high
levels of distress and it would be better to go in armed with some
local knowledge.
I have three or four specific questions - would anyone be free to
answer an email or take a phone call in the next day or two? At your
convenience?
Thanks a lot,
Niall
