TBA

We met with this lovely woman who is a Traditional Birth Attendant while we were in Udaipur. She travels to the homes of women within her village during labor and delivers the babies. She loves her work and because there are no doctors near the village she is a very necessary resource. When we asked what her biggest concern during labor was she said, "complications." If there is a complication the family has to find a way to get the mother to a hospital... besides being unaffordable for many people it is often a long trip, many times making it impossible to save the life of the mother.
