The women are mainly cared for by midwives, but the midwives are trained to stop problems and consult doctors assigned to the hospital. While Aisha Sulaiman had a very difficult birth, she was carrying twins, one was breeched. The midwife delivered that child but then the contractions couldn't get the other one down so they did a C-section on her.

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
On the fore-finger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her wagon-spokes made of long spiders' legs,
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers,
The traces of the smallest spider's web,
The collars of the moonshine's watery beams,
Her whip of cricket's bone, the lash of film,
Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat,
Not so big as a round little worm
Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid;
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O'er ladies ' lips, who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are:
Sometime she gallops o'er a courtier's nose,
And then dreams he of smelling out a suit;
And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail
Tickling a parson's nose as a' lies asleep,
Then dreams, he of another benefice:
Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five-fathom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
That plats the manes of horses in the night,
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs,
Which once untangled, much misfortune bodes:
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage:
This is she--

Direct Relief worked with midwife-training institutions and health facilities in countries with devastatingly high maternal and infant mortality to provide trained midwives with specially designed Midwife Kits. Each Midwife Kit contains both durable items and essential consumable supplies to assist with clean, safe births. Ensuring trained midwives are equipped with the basic tools they need to provide care during pregnancy, delivery, and in the post-partum period is essential to preventing dangerous complications and protecting the health of women and newborns.
U.S. Army Capt. Robyn Ayer, a medical surgical nurse and midwife with the Vermont National Guard, offers a comforting lower back massage to a Senegalese woman in labor, during a medical readiness exercise in Senegal. Ayer has been an integral part of the maternity ward, helping to deliver 10 babies with the Senegalese medical staff. She is part of a 40-person U.S. medical team working with Senegalese hospital professionals at the Thies Regional Hospital and two smaller hospitals in and around Thies, Senegal over the two-week MEDREX Senegal 2023 exercise from 20 Feb. to 2 March 2023.
MEDREX is a program designed and overseen by the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) that allows medical personnel from the U.S. military and partner nations to exchange medical procedures and strengthen treatment capabilities. The exercise exposes participants to unique medical delivery methods, and ultimately improves their capacity to assess and deliver medical care. MEDREX Senegal 2023 is organized and executed by the Vermont National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP) and administered by the National Guard Bureau. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through SPP since 2008. (U.S. Army photo by Cpl. Alisha Grezlik)

In April 2012, USAID provided equipment and training to the Kyabugimbi Health Center in Uganda. The Pima point-of-care CD4 machine is a tool for measuring patients’ CD4 counts, which is an important indicator of the progression of HIV and necessary for determining an appropriate course of treatment. Previously, it took one month to receive the results of the test. Clients can now receive their results within 20 minutes.
USAID is supporting the Ministry of Health to distribute 200 such machines to various facilities in southwestern Uganda that provide anti-retroviral treatment (ART) to persons living with HIV/AIDS. The machines aim to increase access to CD4 testing services and promote early initiation of ART. Unlike conventional CD4 analyzers, this point-of-care CD4 analyzer does not require highly trained technicians, complex back-up equipment, or constant electricity supply. Instead, it is an easy-to-operate machine which enables CD4 testing to be performed efficiently and effectively in a wide range of rural health facilities. (USAID/Renuka Naj)
