name: Anna     Kent
about: Anna Kent has helped women birth babies in war zones, caring for the most vulnerable people in the most vulnerable places in the world.  At 26 years old, when working for MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres), in a conflict zone she attended a birth in a tropical storm, by the light of a headtorch. Later, she would be responsible for the female health of 30,000 stateless Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. But returning to the UK to work for the NHS, Anna soon learned that even at home, the right to a safe birth was impossible to take for granted. In her book Frontline Midwife, Anna shares her extraordinary experiences as a nurse, midwife and mother, illuminating the lives of women that are irreparably affected by compromised access to healthcare.
