30 th September found me at a very busy private midwives clinic it may not look like much from the outside but it is in one of the poorest areas of the city (Slum) but the lead midwife and her senior midwife supported by two newly qualified nurses deliver 60 babies a month as well as busy immunisation clinics, antenatal care, family planning and it is really clean inside just proves never judge book by its cover.


E's clinic she has been in practice here for 40 years.

Getting ready for baby number one of the day well number one since I arrived at 9.30 E. had delivered two already.

Ugandan version of incubator this baby had quite a slow delivery and required transfer to main hospital 2 hours post delivery.

Baby two normal delivery all well.

Meet the mama a short while later there is a baby in there somewhere.

Baby number 3 and there is not much wrong with her lungs.

Baby number 4 yes I mean four and it was only 5.30 pm was a breech baby which was a sight to see not so common back home the woman had been advised to go to hospital when in labour as diagnosed breech at 36/weeks but arrived in second stage.
