We would get mothers

who have been really delayed

 

Mothers who would come with lots of problems:

 

Obstructed labour. Mothers would come with

 

dead babies inside because they were really delayed.

Mellone and her baby were the lucky ones – in  remote places like this, some mothers don’t make it to the hospital in time.

In the next cot, Baby Rosetti is facing an uncertain future as an  orphan after his mother died giving birth

 

Babies like him are more likely to die before their 5th birthday than those with mother to care for them

We are really fighting hard and it is quite something

 

not easy to achieve. 

 

To save mothers

 

is to save the future.
