New Born Baby Care

Original Caption:
Tanzania, Nduta.

Nizigama Anitha, 23 years old, had her first baby, a boy: Bayubahe Boniphasi (Bayubahé).

She was taken from Nduta refugee camp by an ambulance to MSF hospital in the camp. Anitha stayed for 2 days, then she was referred to Kibondo hospital at 1 pm because of prolonged labour. She had surgery (C-section) at 6pm.

Her relatives are not allowed to leave the camp to join her in Kibondo, so she was alone there.

She is waiting to go back to the camp where she will be followed up in MSF hospital and released after 2 days.
