The stories we hear!

Anesthesiologists not on duty when women are in labor.
Women waiting hours/days for an anesthesiologist so an epidural can be administered.
In the case of loss of blood, family members need to find and provide blood and in some cases have to replace…

The majority of stories we hear when a women losses her life during childbirth is negligence on the hospital.

We need to start holding these hospitals accountable.

Also, I feel there are not enough compassionate people working in the maternal health sector.
