The attached is a photo of a patient by the name Anyang Adher who came from Mabior Yar which is about 4hrs walk to our clinic. She came with Antepartum Heamorrhage at a gestational age of 34weeks. She has not been attending our ANC clinic may be because of the distance. On examination there was active bleeding and needed urgent referral to a bigger hospital for possible ceaserian section to safe the life of the mother and the baby. They were urgently reffered to Wau Teaching and referral hospital on our Ambulance accompanied by Santo-A community health . She is doing fine now.

This mother is by the name Mary Agum from a village known as yapango, near Tonj Town. She has been attending our ANC clinic from the start of the Year. We have visited her in her home during our regular Home visits. She had previously lost her baby at birth during her first pregnancy. She usually had prolonged labour due to macrosomic baby and with poor Birth assistance the baby died because it was being conducted at home by Traditional Birth Assistant.

During this time, she came to our clinic for delivery and it was not a easy delivery. We had to conduct the delivery for over two hours and finally the baby was born but slightly with birth asphyxia. I resuscitated the baby with assistance from  Sham ( Nurse/midwife), Stephany ( E- Assistant) and Rebecca- a community Health Nurse.
We praise God for that and especially the Indeed and Truth Ministry for bringing a health facility to needy people because it was a difficult delivery. The baby is now doing fine and the mother is very happy to have a health bouncing baby boy especially after she had lost the previous baby after delivery.
Glorifying God,

Annie.
