MSF Midwife
05:43 – 06:30

05’44 -> 05’47: We have been under a lot of pressure in the maternal ward

05’48 -> 05’50: Some organizations had to stop supporting these services

05’50 -> 05’56: Therefore, we noticed an increase in deliveries, post-natal care and family planning

05’57 -> 06’03: The number of patients increased. We used to have 100 consultations on average per month, but now we reach 300.

06’03 -> 06’15: The hospital is far for so many patients. For those who come from camps, most of the time, they have to rent cars to come here, which is complicated

Fatima*, Displaced woman in Idlib

06’17 -> 06’22: I’m a mother of seven children. I miscarried two months ago

06’23 -> 06’33: I endured major suffering during these two months due to the cold weather and the lack of nurses and doctors

06’34 -> 06’40: Every time we head to the hospital, I find that the services are unavailable

06’41 -> 06’47: I went through two seizures last year. It was very hard.

06’48 -> 06’58: After recovering from the contraceptive shot, I got pregnant with my two-and-a-half-year daughter

07’02 -> 7’10: My daughter got sick later. She was burned with water. I took her to Atmeh Hospital, and we stayed there for 20 days

07’11 -> 07’17: They told me that the hospital in which my daughter was born is now closed
It used to provide good services

07’19 -> 07’29: I feed my daughter milk formula. I sometimes replace the unavailable formula with flours.
I can’t afford to buy milk all the time

07’29 -> 07’39: She’s underweighted now, and the doctor prescribed her drugs that I can’t afford when I go to the pharmacy because they are expensive.

07’39 -> 07’43: The mobile clinic helps us a lot.

07’44 -> 07’54: I was feeling tired today and I knew that the clinic will be in the camp, so I rushed to the clinic to bring drugs for my daughter. Thank God, and may God help you in your work.
