You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
The birth of a new baby, a moment of joy and a major milestone in any couple's life. 00:00:04
But for some women, pregnancy and childbirth can be a matter of life or death. 00:00:09
In Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province, the problem is a serious one. 00:00:16
The infant mortality rate here is nearly double the national average, 00:00:20
and the statistics for women are not much better. 00:00:24
UNICEF, with funding from Australia and the UK, 00:00:28
is working with midwives and at health centers in communities like this one 00:00:31
to save mothers and their newborns. 00:00:35
But it's not an easy task. 00:00:38
There's a lot to do, actually, in changing the behavior and changing the perception 00:00:40
about the delivery, that pregnancy is actually a high-risk situation for mothers, 00:00:46
although it is a normal delivery. 00:00:56
At this clinic in the capital, Kupang, 00:00:58
dozens of pregnant women come in each week to be examined by a trained midwife. 00:01:00
22-year-old Maria is expecting her first child. 00:01:09
Here at the clinic, she is seen by midwife Selika Primus. 00:01:12
And the results of a routine blood test are in. 00:01:20
Maria needs iron supplements, not an unusual problem in pregnancy. 00:01:23
But if Maria did not see a professional, 00:01:27
her health and that of her unborn child would have suffered. 00:01:29
Many women in Indonesia still go to traditional birth attendants 00:01:33
who are not trained to deal with difficult pregnancies and births. 00:01:37
She says sometimes these birth attendants tell the mother to push too early. 00:01:45
Then they face a serious problem. 00:01:49
She says the women often end up coming to her, 00:01:51
and by then they are very tired and weak. 00:01:53
Selika has lost count of the number of babies she's delivered over the past two decades, 00:01:58
but she says the birth of each baby is still a very special event for her. 00:02:03
Her home, which doubles as a clinic, 00:02:07
allows mothers to deliver their babies in a safe environment. 00:02:09
Chelli, a first-time mother, 00:02:14
called the midwife after going into labor just 90 minutes before giving birth. 00:02:16
Selika rushed home and delivered this healthy baby boy, 00:02:21
all 6 pounds, 8 ounces. 00:02:24
This is Susanna Dain for UNICEF Television. 00:02:27
