Training programs to help save lives, one birth at a time

I strongly remember a day when the training helped me save lives

While I was a mentor at Kiziguro district, I was able to identify signs of severe pre-eclampsia in two mothers. They had been in the hospital over 12 hours without being managed. I suggested to provide magnesium sulphate and anti-hypertensive medication, but the doctors were hesitant — this was not their usual practice and they feared harming the mothers or the babies. But I know what the safe dose is! We provided the medication and both mothers delivered soon after that. We saved two mothers and two babies that day.
