Sunday is ‘Midwife Day’. Two midwives from Styria and a Carinthian gynecologist were on a very special mission in Africa: they trained the staff of the Holy Family Hospital Techiman in northern Ghana. 4,500 babies are born every year. Many things happen very differently there than here in Austria.
Anyone who thinks of births in Austria and the Western world thinks of women screaming in pain. “It’s very quiet there,” says Graz midwife Eva Schindler-Lausecker, recalling her ten-day assignment in Techiman, Ghana. “You don’t hear any noise even if there are no painkillers.” How did that happen? “People go into labor with different expectations. They are used to more pain,” says gynecologist Nadja Taumberger.
