🇺🇦 Ukrainian midwife Vira Tselyk ‘We were in a bomb shelter for 42 days. The sound of a baby crying following birth was more powerful than the loudest shelling. It kept us going, gave us Hope & was a sign that our nation will survive’.

STANDING OVATION #ICM2023 1.

142 babies born during 42 days in the bomb shelter including 3 sets of twins and 2 sets of triplets!!

Powerful experience to witness this midwife share her experience from the Ukraine. So moving. #MidwivesInBali #ICM2023

The role of midwives in humanitarian & fragile settings. Haiti has the highest perinatal mortality rate in the Caribbean
Midwives work hard to provide safe midwifery care against a backdrop of shortages, disasters & midwives being kidnapped on the way home from work! #ICM2023

So, so powerful. Babies don’t stop being born during war. Inspirational midwives doing their job regardless of the fragile situation they’re in. Esther Sharma 🧡 this session resonates so much with your work.

Not a bad spot to do finishing touches to my #ICM2023 presentation #givebirthwithoutfear #Midwivesinbali
