Afghanistan - The Toughest Battle - Health - 15 May 07

This video speaks for itself.  Isn't it heartbreaking to know that in Afghanistan a woman dies in childbirth every 28 minutes.  There is nothing in the clinic to help a woman if complications arise.  There are no anesthetics, no operating room, no doctors, and only untrained nurses in the small province in the video.

  1. That truly is a sad situation and makes me feel blessed everytime I see the conditions there. Our folks delpoy there constantly and we are continually sending clothes, blankets, toys and even candy for the children there. It is amazsing to see how something so small can seem to such a poor country.

    That is truly a heart wrenching video. We are truly fortunate to live in a country where we have access to medical care.
