Giving Birth in Dubai with Midwife Cecile de Scally

The Virtual Midwife

This week is the first in our interview series where we speak to birth workers making a difference around the world.

Cecile and I trained at Addington Hospital in Durban, South Africa in 1980 something (yes! we are "that old"...) and then years later, we met up when we were both working in the Middle East. We both hold a vision of restoring normality to birth through effective prenatal education, so I could not wait to catch up and find out what she has been up to and pick her brains about all things pregnancy and birth in Dubai.
