    I really love the message passed by Nasira Bashil about how if Health care is better how it can influence good reproductive health for mother's , children and even everyone at large . Also how both male and female are to involve themselves in reproductive system health for a better health care . She is talked about various factors that could contribute to a proper Health care like racism , capitalism e t.c. So far reproductive health is a paramount component of the health care and must be treated with so much care and not to to be taken lightly to prevent morbidity and mortality especially in mothers and babies.

    This course informs, inspires and brings a voice for change in the healthcare system, specifically surrounding maternity care and the need for the amazing facilities which are birthing centres. even though I am not from America nor have I ever been, this has been a great opportunity to see and learn about how others experience care particularly throughout and after pregnancy especially as an inspiring midwife it is hopeful to see such thought and passion invested into the future of maternity care.
