“Continuing to work as usual has been quite a challenging endeavour during this period of the corona virus pandemic. As frontline health workers, midwives are more vulnerable to getting infected with the deadly virus due to the nature of our work; in assisting during labour and childbirth. When this pandemic was declared in Uganda, the government instituted a country-wide lockdown as one of the measures to curb the spread of the disease. Little did I know that this would greatly impact my work as a midwife.” – Catherine Namutosi, Senior Nursing Officer (Midwifery), China-Uganda Friendship Hospital, Naguru
