Amina Moazzen, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at the Reproductive Health Department at Al Munira Rural Hospital while in her ninth month of pregnancy, experiencing labor for two consecutive days and suffering from severe anemia due to early pregnancy, which placed her health in a critical condition.
Amina reported that she had not received any healthcare during her pregnancy due to the lack of health services in the area. Given the severity of her condition, an urgent referral was made to Al Thawra General Hospital in Al Hudaydah to ensure the safety of both mother and child, with emergency primary care provided during transfer, including blood transfusion, necessary medical tests, and continuous monitoring of her condition.
Thanks to the rapid response of the medical team and effective coordination among all parties, Amina successfully reached the designated hospital and delivered safely, with ongoing medical support and necessary medications, allowing both mother and child to begin a gradual recovery process.
Amina’s story highlights the importance of the Integrated Reproductive Health Services Project, implemented by All Girls Foundation for Development with funding from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in ensuring successful medical referrals and protecting the lives of mothers and children, even in critical and high-risk cases.
