Experiencing Interruptions?

Zahida's Story: A Midwife on a Mission

After experiencing her own difficulties in childbirth, Zahida embarked on a mission to make pregnancy and delivery safer for women and newborns in her rural village.

Zahida's crusade goes beyond providing care. She is determined to break down the cultural and social barriers that prevent women from making choices about their own health care. ZAHIDA'S STORY follows this courageous woman as she makes home visits, welcomes pregnant women to her clinic, and celebrates the birth of a new baby.
