Ans The delivery ward was full of groaning, whirling women the majority
labouring alone, oxytocin drips and pump were in widespread use. This was the
meeting-place of the old Africa and the new technology of the west. Pools of

happy to leave them there as a witness of the blessings of the earth, while they
busied themselves with technologically sophisticated modern equipment and
ignored the labouring women as far as possible.
