Two things can be true at the same time.
1. People should have the autonomy to decide on their treatment.
2. But in a resource poor setting like Sri Lanka-where healthcare workers have worked hard to keep maternal & neonatal deaths low-telling people it’s “fine” to skip CTG, avoid cannulae,or refuse basic monitoring is not empowering, it’s dangerous!!

Months after the Ditwah cyclone, the best our authorities could manage was a few sandbags, a temporary fix so desperate it was almost impressive.
Months later, nothing permanent in sight. Outstanding work as always. #SlowClap#lka
