We are a pro-choice country.

Functional health facilities, more supplies, more midwives, better remuneration, autonomy, respect, dignity…. And the list goes on. This is what midwives globally are asking for so as to be able to offer quality health care #IDM2022 @UNFPAKen @WRAglobal @WRA_K @world_midwives
