This rural woman gave birth assisted by an untrained TBA. The placenta was not delivered. It took three hours by boat and riksja for her to reach the sub-district health complex, which had no blood supply, and then three hours by taxi to the regional hospital. By then, she had lost 2.5 litres of blood and was in a critical condition. Bangladesh, 2002
