In St James’s University hospital, Leeds, , it was a given that I would be able to drink clean water whenever I chose during those intense and thirst-inducing hours of labour. I remember, too, how wonderfully refreshing it felt when it was finally over to have that first shower on the ward. Crucially, I felt safe. The midwives and health professionals involved could wash their hands with soap and keep their implements clean throughout the process.
In my experience, midwives and doctors go above and beyond the call of duty, working heroically to give the best possible care to their patients, whatever the circumstances. But despite their efforts, it is nearly impossible for healthcare workers to protect their own health and provide safe maternity care without the basics of clean water, decent toilets and soap for washing hands.
