"I have to be ready morning, afternoon and night. Our health center is in a remote area. When patients come, I am ready to help them.

Working with the communities makes me beyond happy. If asked whether I am tired or not, sometimes yes, I am. But after seeing that the baby and the mother are safe, my happiness makes me forget my tiredness.

For one patient I had, everything was normal at the beginning. But after delivery, the placenta did not come out. I massaged the uterus, but still the placenta did not come out. I had never experienced a case like that before.

It is over 60 kilometres from the health center to the nearest hospital. Our health center only has a midwife and a nurse. I felt scared, but I knew I just had to do my best.

I used the glove and pulled out the placenta. After I did that, the mother was safe. If the patient had not come to deliver at the health center, I think she may not have survived.

That’s when I was most proud of myself. I felt that I had saved one life and I would try to save as many other lives as possible."
