Um bolsista nacional de saúde relata um episódio em um centro de atenção primária em Potiskum, na Nigéria, em que uma gestante quase foi dispensada durante a noite por falta de equipe. A palestra situa o caso no contexto da grande parcela das mortes maternas globais registradas na Nigéria. Ela defende que fazer perguntas e mobilizar recursos locais pode garantir segurança 24 horas sem depender de diretrizes distantes.
