In fact it is 229US $, but they make us in Belgium, pay "importation tax". I discovered it in the US at the last "heads up" breech birth conference in 2011.
I would believe you could get donor support. And possibly persuade the makers that they want to give one or more for a humanitarian cause?
Personally if I am doing field work I will take it along. In addition to aspects discussed in the previous mail, I also use it when we are looking at how comfortable the care-givers are with the use of the mask for asphyxiated babies.

Dear Sophie
I am a midwifery lecturer in Hull and work as consultant internationally. I have just recently been in Bangladesh reviewing midwifery education over there and I would be really interested to have the info on the US made soft mannequin equipment if you don’t mind?
Thanks Julie

I don't know if you are familiar with it. There is a very friendly US made soft material mannequin with a pelvis and a baby. For breech it is the best tool I know. For shoulder dystocia it is acceptable. It costs 300€ (250£) and weighs about 500 grs (one pound. If you don't know it send a mail and I will look for the reference.

Dear All,
I am a midwife in North Wales and though my links with Bangor Uni I am visiting Lesotho in South Africa with several colleagues to help to develop ante natal, intrapartum and post natal care. We are planning some teaching sessions to deliver to the village health workers. We would love to be able to take a model for them to practise breech shoulder dystocia etc. but our funds won't stretch that far I am afraid.
Does anyone have a model that they no longer use which they would be willing to donate? Our aim is to leave a model there as the village health workers meet once a month and we are hoping they can use the models to practise manouveres etc.
Kind Regards,
>Sue.
