Summary

 Bloomsbury presents Frontline Midwife written and read by Anna Kent.

‘Brutally powerful . . . Totally absorbing’ Independent
‘A gripping, honest and moving account of healthcare work in a war zone’ Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm

At twenty-six years old, Anna Kent helped a woman deliver her baby in a tropical storm by the light of a headtorch. At age thirty she would be responsible for the female health of 30,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. But returning to work for the NHS in the UK, she soon learned that even at home the right to a safe birth was impossible to take for granted.

Frontline Midwife is Kent’s compassionate testament to the critical work of healthcare professionals around the world.

As a midwife I was drawn to this book but as a woman and anxiety sufferer I couldn’t get enough. Heart wrenching, thought provoking and oh so inspiring. You will laugh and cry but ultimately you will feel so grateful to Anna for sharing her story. I could not recommend this book more.

A must read/listen for anyone with even the slightest interest in maternal health
