In alignment with local development strategies, UNFPA worked in close collaboration with United Nations Volunteer programme and the Bana City Council to recruit a midwife from the locality for a rapid integration and acceptance from the community.
Stella is a state trained midwife, her swift gait gets her in and out of the maternity ward to watch over her patients: newly delivered mothers and their newborn babies. Despite her duty conscious strides, she doesn't fail to offer a smile here and there to family members waiting in the corridors. Just six weeks in, and the facility is already feeling the change she has brought."We have more women coming from Bafang and other surrounding villages for their Antenatal Care and delivery.
A few minutes after receiving this call, Stella arrived at the hospital to attend to Mirabelle. On arrival, she found the theatre ready for surgery."Her last antenatal visits didn't present anything to worry about. When I arrived, I re-examined Mirabelle, I could clearly hear both heartbeats. I shared with my colleagues that this could be handled without a cesarean section. They trusted me and we all went in to carry out the delivery." Stella narrates.
