Bwindi's Babies (2011): Meet the brave Ugandan women bringing vital maternity care services to the country's poorest areas.
Deep within Uganda's impenetrable rain forest, there is a remarkable maternity unit run by extraordinary women. It is in such remote and impoverished places that millions of pregnant women die as they struggle to access medical care. "Mothers would come with dead babies inside because they were really delayed."

In Uganda 1 in 5 persons over the age of 5 years has a disability (Demographic and Health Survey 2006).
