8220;The surgeons were screaming they needed to. Get the baby out.”. Zipporah is a Consultant Anaesthetist working in Kenya. Her area of interest is Paediatric Anaesthesia and anaesthesia education.

Dr Sophia Webster | Make it Zero | Unsafe surgery is our issue

http://www.makeitzero.org/dr-sophia-webster

From the U.K. to South Africa, landing in 26 African countries along the way to promote safe pregnancy. Which is more dangerous, having a baby in a low-resource setting or single-handedly flying a plane over an ocean?
