services for women
Work place: Akhaura Upazila health
complex, B- bariya
Eid-ul-fitr and Eid-ul-adha are two
most auspicious occasions for the Muslims.
During Eid everyone go for Eid vacation, instead of few health workers who
remains on duty to provide services to the patients at the hospitals. During
the Eid-ul-adha on 10 July 2022 when most of the people went for Eid vacation I
was also on duty. I was living at the hospital dormitories far apart from my
family and relatives. I was feeling lonely and deprived.
Then in the fine morning, a pregnant
women arrived to me for delivery. I had conducted an active management of third
stage of labour. After delivery I had ensured skin-to-skin contact between the mother
and the newborn and helped the woman breastfeed the newborn. Both the mother
and the newborn were doing well.
Right after the delivery, I instantly
felt a sense of accomplishment and joy. All my regrets disappeared at that moment
when I delivered the baby boy. The special day of Eid turn into more special to
me. I realized the importance of being on duty even on special occasions to
support pregnant women. I thanked the all-mighty ALLAH for giving me the
opportunity to help the mother and the newborn. On the spot, I had committed
that, I am midwife, I will always be with pregnant women no matter what is
happening. My pleasure to remain with women.
