UNICEF: SOWC: Midwife training in Afghanistan
by unicef 140,347 views
This year, UNICEFs flagship report, The State of the Worlds Children to be launched on 15 January addresses the need to close one of the greatest health divides between industrialized and developing countries: maternal mortality. Here is one in a series of related stories.
PANJSHIR PROVINCE, Afghanistan, 13 January 2009 Dr. Forough Malalai is the only female maternal health doctor in Panjshir province, a mountainous region in central Afghanistan. With vast valleys and harsh winters, many of Panjshirs 600,000 residents live in villages that are inaccessible by road and often blocked by floods and avalanches.
Some women have to walk for hours, even days, to reach the clinic, says Dr. Malalai. It is quite difficult to transport emergency cases to the clinic.
At present, Dr. Malalai can provide her patients with basic services at the clinic, but she hopes that one day the clinic can be replaced by a hospital. For now, she must manage to use the limited resources to provide the regions women with good obstetrical care.
