Not long ago, a friend posted an article on the realities of maternal moralities in developing nations on her blog (Midwife to the World). Each time I read it, my heart sinks and my skin grows cold. It is true -- horrifyingly true. I saw this happen in the Philippines and I know it happens here in Africa.
Please read the story of Mrs. Y and you will see what I mean.
May this NEVER be true of our clinic!

ReplyDeleteIt's so sad and maddening that it's so hard for people to believe that this happens. Needless deaths, every day. But I have faith that this won't happen at your birth center :)
