助产士|避开枪战来上班,夜里照明靠火把,他们的工作艰苦又温情( 三 )


“帮人们把生命带到这世上,这份工作让我非常着迷 。”
“每个女人都有在安全干净的产房中生孩子的权利,也有保持健康的权利,所以我选择成为助产士,确保她们得到好的照顾 。”
助产士们是这样理解自己工作的 。的确,这项职业被赋予了神圣意义,他们的成就感也来源于此 。每年5月5日被认定为国际助产士日,以感谢助产士在孕产妇分娩及新生儿护理中发挥的关键作用 。
“她们有关于生孩子的梦想,我的梦想就是帮助她们完成梦想 。”

全球健康与发展守卫计划
我们关心科学家的每一次灵光一现,关心在未知领域的每一步开拓和探索 。但这次,我们想把目光投向全球贫困人群 。
他们生活窘迫,面对伤害也更加脆弱:气候变化、传染病、饥饿、贫困、新生儿死亡、性别歧视……科学和创新,能为他们带来什么?
全球健康与发展守卫计划通过招募并培养创作者、传播者,促进各类优质内容产生,鼓励传播和发声,从而将关注全球健康与全球发展的理念传播给大众,让贫困人群获得更多关注,并期待让这种关注实实在在改善他们的境遇 。
