NW Crisis - Regional Hospital Bamenda
Expansion of intensive care unit, supported by WHO.
The rate of caesarian births are increasing, seeing accompanying decline in maternal death rates. Doctors are able to ascertain the amount stress the pregnant woman is in using a particular equipment that has been provided by WHO.
Most times, by the time pregnant women arrive from the village, they've already gone through the stresses of contraction, stressing both mothers' and babies' healths. The hospital's ability now to ascertain materanl and fetal stress levesl and then their ability to perform emergency caearians mean that doctors are now able to save both mother and child before it is too late.
This hospital also experiences the dilemma of saving a member of the NSAG, knowing that political complications will arise should the government finds out about it.
