Like most mothers in rural Papua New Guinea, with limited access to shops and supplies for newborn care, Jada Wedjor’s priority was a safe delivery. The material needs would need to be addressed later. Thus, she arrived at the Matkomnai Health Facility with minimal basic needs for herself and the new baby.
“I had no nappies, clothes or even a blanket for my baby. My main priority was to have a safe delivery at the health facility and so I did not want these issues to stop me from going to the health center,” Jayda shared.
