Home deliveries in rural Burma

  • 8 years ago
Burma's Health Ministry has admitted that the country needs significantly more midwives.

Senior health officials recently said that a mere 10,000 midwives are employed to cover 60,000 villages.

In Rangoon's Bago division there are 3,000 people living in San San Lwin's village and the midwife has to travel to all the other villages in the area.
