BIRTH & DEATH
“Only when the fetus almost dead or is dead and they can’t deliver then they think of sending the patient to the hospital.” -Dr. S.K. Sidique, senior gynecologist
Women lay on threadbare gurneys in a ward infested with mosquitoes and the stench of urine and death. Bintu Kamara, 28 years old, waits in the labor ward of Princess Christian Maternity Hospital in Freetown. She survived an emergency C-section but her baby was stillborn. They sometimes must wait for the family to buy surgical gloves before surgery can begin. Photo by Carol Guzy.
