Voices from the Field

“I’m very thankful to the medical staff from the hospital,” says Verene Nyirahabufite, 22. “They have been very supportive and stayed with me until I gave birth. I was afraid of having a caesarean [section], but I realized it was well done without any complications.”

Nyirahabufite’s first child had been stillborn—she did not reach the hospital in time for the delivery. For her second pregnancy, she decided to go to the health center early. This time, she was transferred from Mucubira Health Center to Gitwe Hospital in time to deliver a healthy boy.
