"Under the scorching sun that beats down on the parched hills of Andonabe,
southern Madagascar, a quiet line of women gather in front of a dust-stained
van. Some cradle babies swaddled in brightly patterned lambas; others try to
hide their rounded bellies beneath faded cloth wraps.
All of them wait patiently for their turn at the mobile clinic that has been
set up for the day.
Among them stands Zara, 18, seven months pregnant, her hand resting on her
belly with a nervous tenderness. “I come here to check my baby’s health. The
basic medical centers are very far from my house.”
Through these clinics, women like Zara, living in remote, hard-to-reach
villages, can ask questions directly to doctors and nurses, and receive
essential medicines which would have been impossible otherwise.
These mobile clinics reveal a deep reality about the state of healthcare in a
country where entire regions remain without consistent access to healthcare."
