DESTINATION: THE ORPHANAGE

A MOTHER DIES, as her eighth child is horn; and all 8 chil
dren must he “shipped-off” to “The Orphanage.”
She could not get into a hospital. She was attended only
Ly a midwife. She died! Yet, expert post-mortems said: “This
l^Iother would have lived with a minimum of medical atten-|
lion.” And eight children would be living in their own home,'
"oday, instead of in “The Orphanage.”
Horrible? Yes, and yet similar things happen in North
Carolina almost every day. Records show that in 40 other
sUtes a Mother has a better chance of surviving childbirth than
a Mother has in North Carolina.. .j. Only 17 out of every lOQ
“rural Mothers” have*their babies in hospitals.
Also 2S% of onr Mothers in rural areas do not have a doe-
tor when their babia are bom ... 15,000 babies a year am
delivered by midwives in diis State.... Is there any wonder
that onr people are so solidly bdiind The Good Health Plan?
NORTH CAROLINA’S No. i NEED: MORE HOSPITALS AND MORE DOCTORS
