Trouble in Paradise

Bali is often thought of as a tropical paradise - palm fringed beaches, beautiful sunsets and balmy evenings. While this is all true, there is a darker side to Bali. The maternal mortality rate here is 718 deaths per 100,000 births. This month we feature a newsletter produced by midwife extraordinaire Ibu Robin Lim who works tirelessly to provide care for families in Bali. A large part of her work is focused in Aceh - an Indonesian province that has experienced years of fighting, and is now trying to pick up the pieces after being devastated by the 2004 tsunami.
 
Learn more about Bumi Sehat, run by Robin, and discover what you can do to help.
