Dr Kaliti: ‘You have to pick up lives’
Meet the doctor working tirelessly to aid mothers and babies in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Dr Kaliti is the only full-time obstetrician at the Bwaila Maternity Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi.
With around 50 babies being delivered every day, the specialised care he can provide is often a matter of life and death for the mothers and babies who arrive at the hopsital.
“You have to pick up lives and put them together in a whole 24-hour cycle. So you want to sleep, but the reward of saving lives is too strong,” he says.
Dr Kaliti is one of the many health heroes profiled in Lifelines: The Quest for Global Health
