Here is an article in today's Toronto Star about what it's like to give birth in Haiti.
Although I know Haiti as a country has challenges on all fronts, including health care, hospitals (or the lack of good ones) etc the severity of the issues really hit home after reading an article like this one. It just accentuates the huge challenges of the country and the impact it has on every aspect of the daily lives of its population.
It's an incredible story of an under aged girl who gave birth but the out come was not good. The article reveals so many issues about the need for basic health care, non sanitary conditions, still births, lack of good hospitals with proper equipment, funds etc. just to mention a few primary challenges.
