Additional Information / Shotlist MIDWIFE TALKING TO A WOMAN WITH HEAVY BLEEDING (post-partum)

“Slowly turn.
Be strong, ok ? You’ll go to the hospital.”

TEXT ON SCREEN
After two years of
an intense conflict,

northern Ethiopia is suffering
serious consequences.

SAMUEL WORKU LULU, MIDWIFE

There have not been any health service
because of the conflict.

So there are a lot of people here
seeking health care and we are trying to address those which we can.

Samuel talks with
a patient

- Now, I’ll check your blood pressure.
- Yes.

TEXT ON SCREEN
MSF goes to
those remote areas
supporting five health centers.

And what
the staff discovered
is alarming.

MONICA MINARDI, MSF DOCTOR

We could see a huge number of people
presenting with severe infection, dehydration,
the effect of malnutrition, skin and eyes infection.
And also a lot of mental health issues. And we noticed that
a lot of people were arriving already with symptoms
from days and weeks.

JOSE PAGARUGAN, PROJECT MEDICAL REFERENT

As you can see on the way here and it's very remote, you have to at least walk from here
to the main road, which have transportation,
for more than 8 hours.

So us going here, it gives them more accessible
health care that they need. Especially when we see emergencies
because we bring them with us,

TEXT ON SCREEN
MSF is now working in
the regional hospital
in Korem,

which was previously empty.

No staff, no supply,
no patients, for 2 years.
