Kanyama volunteer midwife turns taxi into Labour Ward, saves mother and baby

WHAT began as an ordinary day for volunteer midwife, Patricia Hamalambo, quickly turned into a remarkable act of courage and compassion that saved two lives.

Patricia had just knocked off from duty at Kanyama Level One Hospital in Lusaka when she noticed a large crowd gathered around a taxi.

Still dressed in her nurse’s uniform, her curiosity led her closer to the scene — a decision that would change everything for an expectant mother in desperate need.

As she approached, members of the public quickly ushered her into the centre of the crowd. There, she found a pregnant woman lying down, her water already broken and labour progressing rapidly.

“I begged the taxi driver not to leave and asked him to allow me to help the expectant mother give birth from his car,” Patricia narrates to TV Yatu.

At first, the driver hesitated, worried that the car seats would be stained.

“But I convinced him and assured him that I would have his car washed,” Patricia recalls.

As the brief negotiation unfolded, the woman’s labour continued to intensify. Once the driver finally agreed, Patricia asked several women from the crowd to help move the expectant mother into the taxi.

Realising the situation was becoming overwhelming due to the growing crowd, Patricia asked the driver to quickly leave the scene and head towards Kanyama Level One Hospital, with a few women accompanying them to assist.

Moments after the taxi pulled into the hospital car park, Patricia noticed the baby’s head already crowning.

“I quickly put on my gloves and helped the mother deliver a healthy baby boy right there in the car,” she said.

After the successful delivery, Patricia rushed into the Hospital to fetch a wheelchair and carefully wheeled the new mother and her baby into the labour ward for further care.

Unknown to her, the dramatic moment had been captured by renowned photojournalist Jean Mandela, documenting

" I don’t know if I should run or if I’ve already put myself in trouble. 😭​It started on one of those Facebook groups where they said "Comment with a green heart 💚 if you are looking for a serious relationship."

He messaged me that same night. We realized we stayed in the same part of Lagos, so we talked on the phone throughout the next day.
​He begged me to come over for the weekend. When I got there, everything was fine. We ate, we gaffed, and we spent time together like real lovers. Around 3 am this morning, he woke me up for another round. While we were at it, not even ten minutes in, he just stopped moving. He started making a strange sound in his throat and then he just fell heavy on top of me.

​I tried to shake him, but he was like a log of wood. I splashed cold sachet water on his face, but his eyes were just fixed. I was so terrified. I thought about shouting for the neighbors, but I was scared of what people would say seeing me there at that time of the night.😭😭😭

​I just dressed up, took my bag, and ran out of the house. It’s been almost 12 hours now and I haven’t heard anything. I’ve been calling his phone but it’s just ringing. My legs are shaking. What if he didn't wake up? If I go to the police, will they believe I didn’t do anything to him?
Please, I need advice before I lose my mind. 💔💔😭

Please, post but do not expose my identity 🙏
