Birth is a treacherous
business, especially in Africa where every year up
to half a million babies die on the day they are
born. Evelyn Katunge, from Kenya, knows about the
heartbreak of losing babies. She was just 18 when
she gave birth. She had no idea she was carrying
twins. They died hours after being born. There were
complications with the birth and there was no
effective healthcare. But that is beginning to
change. Pioneering programmes are being introduced
to prevent similar tragedies. “Survivor’s Guide”
tells Evelyn’s story and looks at the work of
experts like Dr. Abhay Bang in India, who has
developed new methods of support and help for
mothers not just in Africa but around the world.
Part of a 28 x
25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC.
