It took less than four minutes for Pingol, “all calm and collected,” to safely deliver the baby girl, and cut and clamp her umbilical cord. “When she was sure that the mother was already OK, she got up and sanitized with our alcohol. The mother and her newborn were later taken to OsMak where doctors said they were both in good health.
