How a maternity ward is coping with Haiti's baby boom.
HAITI'S BABY BOOM
Haiti is approaching the anniversary of the massive earthquake that caused such devastation and took 230,000 lives. It's been followed by a baby boom. Nine months after the disaster, around 1,200 babies a month were being born at just one hospital in Port au Prince. Mike Thomson visits a maternity hospital known as the 'baby factory' where midwives have been coping with unprecedented numbers of pregnant women, and now some of them are infected with cholera.
