Today as I was leaving Koraro Health Centre we were asked to transport a pregnant woman back to Hawzen. Koraro is one of the remotest villages in the Millenium project village cluster, 30 km from Hawzen by gravel road. In relative terms not that far but with no transport people are reliant on the one or two mini-buses and occasional cars per day, otherwise it is a long walk to Hawzen. the woman had been pregnant with twins, had given birth at home to one but not the other, no fetal heartbeat was detected by the time she arrived at the Health Centre.
We helped the woman and 3 relatives into the back of the Nissan cab vehicle, an umbrella held over her head to shield her from the sun and slowly drove the 30 km over gravel road to Hawzen Health Center/Hospital. I dont know the outcome but hope she is well.
