By By Hilary Geisbert | April 2015
ST. JOHN SUIT: I prefer to dress in a classic knit suit when I meet nurses and midwives in the developing world, just as I would to visit a first lady or minister of health. – Photography by David Colwell
DECAF COFFEE: Must have coffee in the morning and decaf is hard to find in many countries where I work. – Photography by David Colwell
TRAVEL COMPRESSION SOCKS: I fly more than 300,000 miles a year, and, as a nurse, I’m well aware of the risk of blood clots – Photography by David Colwell
COMFY PAIR OF PUMPS: Touring maternity hospitals or one-room health clinics in the developing world requires comfortable, closed-toe shoes to stay on your feet for 14 hours a day. – Photography by David Colwell
Jhpiego Lapel Pin: Our signature brand. – Photography by David Colwell
HAND SANITIZER: Infection prevention begins with the basics. – Photography by David Colwell
GUMMY BEARS: Guilty pleasure. – Photography by David Colwell
TUMI ROLLING CARRY-ON: Can’t leave home without it. Big enough to pack two days worth of clothes—in case the airline loses my luggage. – Photography by David Colwell
THE HEALING WISDOM OF AFRICA BY MALIDOMA PATRICE SOME: Guidebooks don’t suit me; I don’t have time to sightsee. Quality non-fiction, novels, or essays from or about the country give me insight into the culture and the women we are serving in a whole different way. – Photography by David Colwell
BLACK TRENCH COAT: With deep pockets to easily store my passport. – Photography by David Colwell
