When Gudaayiri CHPS Senior Enrolled Nurse Iddris Abdul Latif happened to be walking by, fate stepped in.
Seeing how urgent the situation was, Nurse Latif stopped right away to help. In order to provide some solitude and safety, he evaluated the woman’s health and led her into a nearby thicket.
without sterilized instruments, medical equipment, or support personnel. Nurse Latif depended only on his education, expertise, and courage.
He was able to save both mother and kid by safely delivering the baby under such challenging and unsanitary circumstances.
This draws attention to the commitment of frontline employees who toil ceaselessly in isolated locations sometimes without sufficient funding or rewards.
The intervention of Nurse Latif serves as a reminder that providing healthcare goes far beyond hospital boundaries.
In addition to honoring his personal courage, his acts demand that the Ghana Health Service and other pertinent authorities recognize the many unsung heroes who operate in similar circumstances around the nation.
Because one health professional acted when it mattered most, a woman and her kid are still alive today.
