Uganda. Life At The Fingertips
Description
Esther Madudu is one of two midwives at the Katine health center, located about two hundred kilometers from the Ugandan capital. Here, there is no electricity and the solar panels no longer work. On average, Esther assists five women a day giving birth and tends to forty women in antenatal care, Monday through Friday. The midwives are also in charge of psychological monitoring, the prevention and treatment of malaria, and vaccinations. Esther earned a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize 2015.
