Pregnancy

Perspective

This photo really does show how good we have it in North America. This newborn baby is covered with a flour sack turned into blanket inside a ward of a government hospital in Manila.

An estimated 50 to 60 deliveries occur daily at a government hospital in Manila, forcing staff to discharge new mothers as early as 12 to 24 hours after birth.
