Ismail, Samiya's husband holds his newborn baby after he has been vaccinated against polio and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) at Kisugu Health Centre III in Kampala, Uganda.
This child is Samiya and Ismail's first. They are refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo and came to Kisugu Health Centre III in Kampala when Samiya went into labour, during which she experienced intense pain. Midwife Edinah examined Samiya to check on her and her unborn baby's health.
After the antenatal screening Samiya was able to naturally progress through labour, with Ismail at her side. It lasted through the night and in the morning she delivered a baby boy.
