The mobile clinic was launched in January 2014 shortly after war broke out within South Sudan, and thousands of families arrived in this area, near the country's border with Uganda, from Bor, in Jonglei State.
Yet many have not been warmly welcomed to this region of Eastern Equatoria State, where two earlier waves of displaced people in the 1980s and 1990s left relations tense between the newcomers, who are Dinka, and the largely Ma'adi residents around the city of Nimule.
The Caritas mobile clinic provides medical care--often under a tree--both to displaced families as well as to poor residents of the host communities.

The Brides were played by: Andree’ Melly as “Gina”and Marie Devereux as the “Village Girl”.
“Baroness Meinster" was played by Martita Hunt and “Marianne Danielle” was Yvonne Monlaur.
“Greta” was played by Freda Jackson :
Best Scene: When the innkeeper’s (“Greta” was played by Freda Jackson) daughter (Marie Devereux) falls prey to the Baron and is buried, she is interred in the churchyard. Van Helsing goes one night to investigate her grave, and finds “Greta” Freda Jackson laying with her ear to the mound, muttering into the freshly turned earth.
“Yes my dear, I know it’s dark. No, I can’t help. You’ve got to push….”
The scene has a really macabre intensity, and the unmistakable allusions to childbirth play out perfectly, with Freda, already established as having nursed the young Baron from infancy, playing the part of an encouraging midwife as the innkeeper’s daughter’s pale hand slowly breaks through the ground and she is ‘born’ as a vampire, emerging at last from her coffin, pale and fanged.
Best Dialogue/Line: Baroness: Who is it that is not afraid?
Van Helsing: Only God has no fear.
Baroness: Why have you come here?
Van Helsing: To find your son.
Baroness Meinster: Then you know who I am?
Van Helsing: I know who you were…
Director Terence Fisher's follow-up to the hit Horror of Dracula was one of only a few Hammer vampire films to not feature Christopher Lee in the lead role. David Peel was instead cast as Baron Meinster, with Peter Cushing returning as Dr. Van Helsing to combat the bloodsucking fiend.
The Brides of Dracula is the first sequel to 'The Horror of Dracula'. This film does not have Christopher Lee, or Dracula for that matter, but is among the most lush of the Hammer films.
Release Date: 1960
Directed By: Terence Fisher
Written By: Jimmy Sangster, Peter Bryan, and Edward Percy
Peter Cushing as Doctor Van Helsing
Martina Hunt as Baroness Meinster
Yvonne Mauler as Marianne Danielle
Freda Jackson as Greta:
David Peel as Baron Meinster
The young and beautiful French schoolteacher Marianne (Yvonne Mauler) is abandoned by her coach driver in an isolated village. When she arrives at an inn seeking shelter, she ignores the warnings of others and goes with Baroness Meinster (Martina Hunt) to stay with her at her castle. There she meets the Baroness’ handsome son, Baron Meinster (David Peel), who has his leg chained to a wall. He tells her that his mother has taken his right to the lands and imprisoned him. She steals the keys and sets him free, and his mother and their servant Greta (Freda Jackon) become terribly upset. The Baroness is bitten and killed by her evil son, who we learn is a vampire. When Greta shows the body to Marianne she runs away and is found by Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). The Baron, now free, turns his mother into a vampire, as well as, a little later, a pretty girl from the village. Meanwhile, Greta has become his human servant. He sets his eyes on making Marianne his as well, and only Van Helsing can stop his reign of evil.
This is the first of Hammer’s sequels to their classic, influential, and hugely successful The Horror of Dracula. Christopher Lee does not return and there is no Dracula, nor is there any mention of him in the movie, aside from the narration at the beginning which
tells that he has many followers. Van Helsing, though, does return making him the most direct link to the aforementioned film.
Fisher finely directs The Brides of Dracula, and it ranks as one of the most lush and sumptuous of all of the Hammer films from the period. The sets are beautiful, as are the costumes worn by the cast. The film is always stunning to look at, a truly lavish production in every sense of the word, despite the surely low budget.
There are some very exciting and memorable moments in The Brides of Dracula, and even before Cushing ever sets into a single frame, there is already a wonderful set-up. One such moment is when the Baroness talks about her son introducing him for the very first time. It’s a great bit of dialogue, and of acting from Hunt, and it really sets up the tone, as well as the characters and story. Another potent, and ultimately creepy, scene comes when the pretty vamp is resurrected while Greta cheers her on. Both the first confrontation between the Baron and Van Helsing and the climax are very thrilling. In fact, the later is one of the finest of any and all of Hammer’s movies. And, the ending is simply awesome and features one of the coolest ways to dispose of a vampire, ever!
Hunt isn’t the only one who gives a great performance, as the whole cast is just excellent. Cushing is his always amazing self, proving yet again that he is the definitive Van Helsing. He remains heroic and classy throughout the movie. Peel makes for a great villain - So good, that any disappointment over Lee not appearing in The Brides of Dracula fade quickly. There are few greater complements that can be paid to a horror star than that. Peel’s Baron is sly, seductive, classy, and outright evil. Mauler makes for a likeable and beautiful heroine in the movie, and in keeping with the Hammer tradition both of the vampire “brides” to the Baron are very sexy and attractive as well.
The wonderful acting in this film is strengthened by great dialogue, and the script is perhaps the best in all of vampire movie history. This is an amazing film that has rightfully taken its place as one of Hammer’s very best films, and well lives up to its legacy. No list of the best of Hammer’s work is complete without including The Brides of Dracula, and no true fan of bloodsucker cinema should miss it.

On 2nd December 2019, Hodan Abdilahi Abdi, a senior midwife, listens to the heart of an unborn baby in the UNDP-supported Mother and Child Health (MCH) Centre in Gabiley, Somaliland.
As part of its Joint Programme on Local Governance and Service Delivery (JPLG), UNDP has supported the development of Gabiley’s MCH Centre including constructing the delivery room and maternity ward as well as a staff meeting room which is also used for trainings. Prior to its construction, the nearest health facility was ten kilometres away and, as a result, many women had to give birth at home. The MCH now receives approximately 100 patients per day, is open day and night, and delivers 5-6 births per week.
According to Hodan, “When the mothers come to the maternity ward to give birth, we provide them with so much care. They are very thankful for the care we give them. Some of [the mothers] tell us about their experience giving birth at home, the difficulty they face, the complications and over bleeding they experience after given birth. Their experience in the maternity ward here is so different from giving birth at home because at home they have no medical assistance.
When I come to work in the morning, I examine the patients and do a medical checkup on the babies and their mothers. I give the mother any care she requires and, as a midwife, I deliver babies, care for the mothers when they are in labor and provide them with the appropriate medication they need. There are a lot of mothers who come back here regularly and choose to give birth in this maternity ward because they get great care here and we assist them with whatever we can provide.
After the mother has given birth, we care for the mother and child - we give advice to the mother on how to breastfeed the baby because breast milk is good for the baby. We advise on how she should care for the baby and hold the baby in the right position when she is feeding the baby. We provide nutrition for the mother to feed her child. We also give additional nutrition for mothers who recently gave birth. We provide vaccines for the baby and give advice to the mothers on when to come back for the next vaccine. We do our best to assist the mother and her child to get the best care possible.”
Now in its third five year phase, JPLG is one of the longest running joint UN interventions in Somalia. Through civic engagement between local government and the community, it improves local governance, expands service delivery and identifies community priorities. In Gabiley, key infrastructure such as the MCH, market and road network have been significantly upgraded. The ethos of the JPLG programme is that local people have the best local knowledge and make the best sustainable decisions that fit the local context and meet people’s needs.

A clever twist on the old toy doctor kit, this little set provides your child with everything she (or he) needs to explore the job of a midwife. Children love to imitate what they see in real life. A child who accompanies her mother to prenatal appointments will witness the midwife doing the same things every time....
estimating the gestational age of the baby using a pregnancy wheel
measuring the mother's belly
palpating the mother's belly to determine the baby's position
listening to the mother's belly for fetal heart tones
taking the mother's blood pressure.
This little kit provides all the tools she needs for pretend midwifery play: it's the perfect gift for an expectant sibling or for a midwife's office or house-call kit.
Made from cotton fabrics, polyester fleece, and wool batting, these toy instruments are soft and safe (so it won't hurt when mommy gets jabbed in the belly by an over-zealous three-year old with a toy doppler). Seams are double stitched for safety and durability, however extremely rough play could produce small pieces. This toy is intended for children who do not put their toys in their mouths, approximately age 3 and older.
Kit includes a soft sculpted handheld doppler with a bottle of gel, velcro adjustable blood pressure cuff with a soft stuffed bulb, tape measure with embroidered numbers, a pregnancy wheel with free-hand embroidered fetuses to illustrate how the baby grows from month to month, and a sling scale for weighing the new baby. Each item was sewn and sculpted by hand with lots of sweet little details.
Items are spot cleanable (or hand wash if necessary) with a mild soap like ivory bar soap and tepid water. Roll up in a towel and squeeze, do not wring, lay flat to dry.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

A SUICIDE PACT?
WATERFRONT DISCOVERY
WOMAN ON TIDE DEFLECTOR.
MISSING CITY BUSINESS MAN.
LETTERS AND CLOTHING FOUND.
Within a short distance of two handbags containing letters said to be indicative of a suicide pact, Mrs. Julia Cubitt, midwife, aged 33, was found in a dazed condition, lying on the eastern tide deflector shortly before 8 o'clock on New Year's morning. The writer of some of the letters, Mr. John Llewellyn Davies, of Taumata Road, Edendale, manager of Radio, Ltd., has disappeared, and it is believed that he was drowned in the harbour. His body has not been found.
Mrs. Cubitt, who has been living at the Institute of Trained Nurses since August last, when she left the home of her parents in Taumata Road, is a divorced woman. Mr. Cubitt has the custody of the only child. When found on the tide deflector Mrs. Cubitt was in a semi-conscious state, and was taken to the Auckland Hospital, where she lies in No.12 ward. Although she is now conscious, and by no means in a serious condition, it is said that she has not made any statement in explanation of the affair.
A number of people saw Mr. Davies and Mrs. Cubitt in the city on New Year's Eve and early yesterday morning. It is surmised that they went to King's Drive about dawn. Mr. B. E. Beeby, of 15, Mount Eden Road, found Mrs. Cubitt on the tide deflector at 7.40 o'clock.
Discovery of Letters.
The Queen's wharf police were informed immediately. Prior to the finding of Mrs. Cubitt, Mr. John Filmer, of 9, Stratford Street, Parnell, found a man's hat and coat, together with a woman's raincoat and hat, near the Akarana Yacht Club's shed, in King's Drive. No one else was in the locality. Continuing his walk, Mr. Filmer found on returning an hour and a half later that the hats and coats had not been disturbed. When he summoned the Parnell police, letters written by Mr. Davies and Mrs. Cubitt were discovered.
The letters contained statements allegedly indicative of a suicide pact. One letter was timed 12.40 p.m., but at is believed that "a.m." was intended. The brown tweed overcoat, and bowler hat have been identified as those of Mr. Davies. The small black felt hat and brown macintosh belong to Mrs. Cubitt. Covering the heap of clothing was the macintosh, under which were two handbags containing small articles of feminine toilet, and letters written to Mrs. Cubitt.
Carried Out by the Tide?
From the point alongside the Yacht Club's slipway where the articles and letters were found, a search was instituted along the waterfront banking. Mrs. Cubitt was on the tide deflector about 100 yards away. No trace of Mr. Davies was found. Police believe that he was carried out on the tide.
Forty-five years of age, Mr. Davies had a wife and one child. As the founder of the wholesale radio business of Radio Ltd., one of the leading firms of its kind, Mr. Davies was well known in the city. His asociation with radio extended over a long period. He was the first operator in the Antipodes to receive around the world messages from Carnarvon to Awanui. About 30 years ago he joined the Post and Telegraph Department as a cadet, at Geraldine, and when radio comunication was in its elementary stages he made a special study of wireless. Subsequently he was placed in charge of the Government wireless station at Chatham Islands.
Mr. Davies' War Service.
Joining the New Zealand Expeditionary Force Main Body at the outbreak of war, he went to Samoa, and when the British flag was hoisted at Apia he effected repairs to the powerful radio station, which had been partially dismantled by the Germans. When the German cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were sighted off the island, Mr. Davies pluckily remained at his keyboard, sending out signals informing New Zealand and Australia of the presence of the enemy ships. The radio station was in an exposed position and could have been shelled by the cruisers. Attempts were made by the Germans to "jam" Mr. Davies' messages, but one signal got through. Later, Mr. Davies was awarded the Croix de Guerre.
On returning to New Zealand, after his discharge from the N.Z.E.F., Mr. Davies was in charge of the Awarua, Awanui and Auckland wireless stations, and for a time was at Chatham Islands station. About six years ago he resigned from the Government service to establish the business of which he was manager up to the time of his disappearance. A hard-working, energetic man, Mr. Davies spent 14 hours a day in business pursuits, and had not enjoyed a holiday for five years.

DAVIES’S BODY FOUND
INQUEST ADJOURNED AFTER FORMAL EVIDENCE
ALLEGED SUICIDE PACT
Subsequent to the recovering of the body of J. L. Davies inside the eastern tide deflector yesterday afternoon, after a search which had lasted since last Wednesday, when his hat and coat and a number of letters indicating the intention to commit suicide were found, an inquest was opened before the coroner, Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., this morning.
David Lewis, assistant manager of Radio, Limited, identified the body at the morgue as John Lewellyn Davies, who was managing director of Radio, Limited. He said he had been intimately associated with Davies for about five years. Davies was a marked man, aged 44, with one child. Witness was of opinion that Davies had always lived in New Zealand, excepting during the war period, when he was at the front.
After similar formal evidence had been taken, the inquest was adjourned sine die, as Mrs. Cubitt, who was discovered lying unconscious on the rocks on Wednesday, is not yet in a state to give evidence. She has continued to show improvement each day. but so far has given no explanation of the affair to the police.

"MEMORY BLANK."
MRS. CUBITT'S STORY.
SUICIDE ATTEMPT ADMITTED RELATIONS WITH DAVIES.
COMMENT BY CORONER.
The verdict that John Llewellyn Davies, of Taumata Road, Edendale, committed suicide by drowning himself in the harbour on New Year's morning was returned at the inquest held by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Hunt added that Davies' death followed acute mental depression, consequent upon his entanglement with a woman.
Before the inquest was held, Mrs. Julia Hayes Cubitt, aged 33, a midwife, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide.
She pleaded guilty.
Mrs. Cubitt has been in Auckland Hospital for a month.
Chief Detective Hammond reminded the Court that the woman had been found unconscious on the eastern tide deflector some weeks ago and that she had, been in hospital ever since.
As she was helped into the courtroom by two men, Mrs. Cubitt was trembling violently, and she sat throughout the proceedings with her head bowed. She appeared almost unable to write her signature when required to do so.
Accused was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence within six months.
''I Do Not Remember."
The inquest into the death of John Llewellyn Davies was then begun.
"I do not remember what happened on the waterfront, nor do I remember going into the water. My recollection is a blank as to that."
Trembling, Mrs. Cubitt indicated with a nod of her head that the foregoing statement was hers.
The statement continued: —
"I was divorced some three years ago, following upon a deed of separation between my husband and myself. I became acquainted with the deceased some two years ago. I was with him on New Year's Eve. I met him about 10 p.m. at the house of a relative of mine. I had been at my relative's house all day and deceased came there by arrangement.
Davies "Terribly Worried."
"There had been no talk of suicide up until then. We left my relatives house between half-past ten and half-past eleven and went into town. We walked up and down the street for some time. The deceased was in a mental condition that I had never seen him in before. He was terribly worried and melancholic, and was talking wildly.
"We finally arrived at a hotel in the city where deceased had a friend. I was very worried myself at that time—in fact, distracted. We went from the hotel to the waterfront after having written the letters of farewell at the hotel. We had not agreed to commit suicide, but I knew that if deceased committed suicide I could only do the same, and I was worried about him and what he would do."
Intended To Go Away.
David Lewis, assistant manager of Radio, Ltd., said he first knew of Davies' intrigue with another woman six month ago. On December 30, Davies told him that "he had made a mess of his life," and that there was another woman in the case. He said he had made up his mind to resign his position and go away for six months. At the end of that time he hoped that his wife would be in a different frame of mind, and would allow him his freedom to marry the other woman. Davies said candidly that he cared for the other woman, and that he thought the way he proposed was the only way out. Later Mrs. Cubitt went in and rang Davies.
Davies called witness into his office and asked what had happened after he had left at mid-day. Witness asked Davies what sort of an afternoon, he had had, and he had replied that it had been a bad one, as Mrs. Cubitt had rang up on the 'phone several times. On Tuesday, December 31, Davies did not arrive at the office, but about 3 p.m. he rang up to say that he would be in about; 5.30 p.m. When he arrived witness asked him what sort of a day he had had, and he replied "An awful day." Mrs. Cubitt had rung him on the 'phone several times, and on each occasion there had been a scene at home as a result. Witness had asked him what he intended to do, and he had replied "I am definitely finished with Mrs. Cubitt."
Evening Before Tragedy.
"Davies made arrangements with me to be at the office on Thursday at 9 a.m. to go thoroughly into the business of the office preparatory to his trip south on January 3," said witness. "We left the office together about 5.30 p.m. and went and had a drink. At six o'clock I left him at the corner of Customs and Queen Streets. He said that he was returning to the office. The following morning I received a message from Mrs. Davies asking me to go to her home urgently. She told me that she was very worried as her husband had not arrived home that night. While I was there Mrs. Davies received a telephone message from the police that her husband's hat and coat had been found on the waterfront. At the request of the police I opened the office and found evidence that Davies had been there. He had left a few business notes and letter to Mrs. Davies. Three small bottles of stout and a bottle of wine, which were in the office when I left, were missing."
Replying to Mr. Addison, who appeared for the relatives of deceased, witnes said for the past six months Davies had been in a very nervy condition. He had frequently complained of pain's and noises in the head, and said that he had not been sleeping well.
Mr. Addison: What was his nature generally? —He appeared to me to be the type of man who would be inclined to worry unduly over small matters such as crop up in business.
"Was he worried at the time?"
Mr. Hunt (intervening): Of course he was worried; we know that. He was worried about this woman.
Hammond said deceased's wife was in a state of collapse, and could not attend. "She won't be able to tell us any more," said, the magistrate.
Suicide by drowning was the verdict of the coroner.

I will not leave you.
...Just one short story :
One of the more fortunate inmates, Maria Saloman, gives us her impressions of Stanislawa: "For weeks she never had a chance to lie down. She sometimes sat down near a patient on the oven, dozed for a moment, but soon jumped up and ran to one of the moaning women. . . . When Mrs. Leszczynska first approached me, I knew that everything would be alright. I do not know why, but this was so. My baby managed to last three months in the camp, but seemed doomed to die of starvation. I was completely devoid of milk. 'Mother' somehow found two women to wet-nurse my baby, an Estonian and a Russian. To this day I do not know at what price [she did this]. My Liz owes her life to Stanislawa Leszczynska. I cannot think of her without tears coming to my eyes."
Stanislawa displayed as much common sense as courage. One survivor tells how she would procure water and, on occasions, a herbal brew which she used to wash the infants. Having to use the same water for all the babies, Stanislawa washed the healthy children followed by the sick ones so as not to infect the former. Kazimera Bogdanska explains that she was unable to nurse her tiny daughter. Nevertheless, Stanislawa informed her that she should still give the child an empty breast "so the glands would not stop working." "Mother was right," says Kazimera, "How lucky I was that I believed her. When liberty came in January 1945 and I was taken to a real hospital (since I had typhoid fever) the doctor allowed me to continue to give my child my breast devoid of milk. After some time milk returned. My daughter began to gain weight. . . . She started to become round and rosy cheeked. . . . Mother's wisdom and faith saved my only child."

The midwife delivered that childr, but then the contractions couldn't get the other one down so they did a C-section on her.
The midwife, Jamila Sani Shariff who only qualified a few months before is there to receive the baby. Once the child is delivered, the midwives take control of the child and cares for he or she. The anthesiologist technician, ShaSha Usnu Usmab hovers over her.

JHPIEGO/MCHIP Midwife Clinic Thatta, Sindh
Visited: Mar13th, 2015
By: Pervaiz Lodhie of LEDtronics USA and Shaantech KEPZ Pakistan
A Jhpiego / Mchip Midwife Initiative in Pakistan.
Jhpiego: Johns Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynecology and Obstetrics
Mchip: Maternal and Child Health Integrated Porgram
Midwife: Zoriat Ali owner/incharge
Location: Haji Usman Hebo Village. About 11 km from Makli in Thatta District.
Clinic Started Oct 2014. This is one of about 200 being handed over to trained midwifes under the Jhpiego/Mchip program. The clinic is now about 6 months old. I am told that this the most successful of the 9 Mchip midwife clinics initially started as it has solar powered LED lights, medicine dc refrigerator, dc fan and portable LED lanterns which were gifted under the "Kavalcare" Lodhie Foundation initiative.
Mother and child care and births are taking care and already many lives are being saved. Though this clinic was meant to support population within 5 to 10 mile distance, Midwife Zoriat's quality of work and popularity is making patients come from as far as 30km as I was told by Zoriat Ali.
I met the mother with the healthy baby son born in this clinic 6 months ago.
Zoriat Ali has already built two residential room home all at her own cost and effort attached to this one room clinic. She plans to build a separate delivery room attached to the clinic.
I can see the area around the clinic develop due to Zoriat's efforts and help from Jhpiego/Mchip
