PART 6.2

Story A

In Mozambique, there was local distrust of the health clinic. A woman did come into the health clinic to deliver her child but both she and the child died in childbirth. The doctor, Hans Rosling, felt terrible and worried that he would never regain the trust of the people in the surrounding villages. But he learned that it was important for him to return the bodies to the village for a proper burial as a sign of respect for the local culture.

Story B

In many cultures, women bear most of the responsibilities in a family. Women want to educate their children and enhance their well-being. They want a better life for their children and they want them to be able to escape poverty. But in many places around the world, women lack power and are limited in what they are able to do and the resources and jobs they can access.
