Safe birth for Seema

By Communications Team | Friends of UNFPA

24 year-old Seema moved with her three daughters to be closer to her parents during the pandemic. Sadly, her youngest daughter died because Seema couldn't access infant health services. Now, pregnant for the fourth time, Seema attends a clinic for prenatal care. When she's ready to give birth, she can also receive safe delivery care. And, her newborn will have access to infant health services. 

$20 provides one midwife with the equipment she needs to ensure women like Seema can give birth safely, no matter what.

Seema is not alone in needing this lifesaving care. Noor, the senior midwive at Seema's clinic, and her colleagues see 500 patients every day. "Hundreds of women visit the facility every day. I sometimes feel tired but these women need us. When we help them, we forget our pain," said Noor. 

$150 provides a rural clinic with supplies, medications, and equipment to manage most obstetric emergencies. 

Thanks to your support, Seema is having a healthy pregnancy and is hopeful for a safe delivery. And, your support makes it possible for her little one to receive the health care they need. No woman should have to experience what Seema did. Thank you.
