Although our Birthing Center is not a Hospital, it provides valuable, good and safe care to poor Haitian mothers, who otherwise would have their baby “on the ground,” and in a mud hut using a “tin can lid” or a piece of sharp glass or knife to cut the cord.

This idea of having a Birthing Center started when we saw mothers starting to give birth on the ground of our Jesus Healing Center Clinic. Many mothers from the mountains stay home in their mud hut drinking “peanut oil” or “ginger tea” to make the birth come quickly. This makes the mother’s blood pressure go up! Often, if a mother starts bleeding, they will grab dirty rags from the corner of their mud hut to help pack the bleeding of the mother.

But now, mothers come each month to make sure their baby is healthy. They are delighted to see their baby on the Sonagram. When they arrive to give birth, they hear beautiful Christian music playing. The anxious father or relatives can sit on the porch in our rocking chairs while mom is having her baby in a clean atmosphere.

In the Woman’s Training Center they are taught how to feed their children when there is little food available. They receive the Gospel and Joyce Meyer Booklets to take home. Mothers are fed nutritious food here at our Birthing Center. We have wonderful doctors, “Utsey’s,” echographers, laboratory specialists, and many midwives. We have four well-equipped delivery laboratories and a neonatology room for premature babies.

Thank you partners… again, for saving lives.
