Anna Kent: Frontline Midwife, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

At twenty-six years old, not yet a fully-trained midwife, Anna Kent delivered a baby in a tropical storm by the light of a headtorch. At twenty-seven, she delivered triplets with no assistance in the same war-torn country. Later, she would find herself responsible for the female health of 30, 000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

In Frontline Midwife, Anna Kent shares her extraordinary experiences as a midwife, first as a nurse with Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in South Sudan, and later as a specialist midwife in Ethiopia, Haiti, Bangladesh and back home in the United Kingdom.

Through the miraculous, terrifying and occasionally hilarious encounters of her midwifery career - alongside her own tumultuous journey to motherhood - Kent illuminates the lives of women across the world affected by conflict, natural disasters and epidemics. Frontline Midwife is at once an astonishing story of the realities of frontline humanitarian work, and a powerful reminder that the call for accessible healthcare has never been more urgent.
