Synopsis

The cries from women for their babies pierce our hearts and must be heard.
ALL BABIES ARE BORN reveals the difficulties women in the world face during pregnancy and childbirth. The twelve chapters take you into twelve different scenarios of global childbirth experiences in nine different countries. The outcomes of the birth experiences are different. In addition to the compelling stories, each chapter contains gripping global facts substantiating the birth outcome. ALL BABIES ARE BORN initiates you to join in the battle against global birth disparities like HIV, malnutrition, governmental constraints and much more. The stories portrayed are real and written through the eyes of a midwife, describing the challenges she encountered during medical mission outreaches. Without creative healthcare and Gods grace, these stories may not have had the same outcomes. The lives of these women would have been reduced to a mere statistic. This is the voice of those women.
