Ibu Robin Lim

There is a midwifery in Bali,Indonesia, that provides free medical care to any poor pregnant women. Donation comes from all over the world. Because they provide mother-child-friendly natural birth and commit to breastfeeding for the babies, I’ve always wanted to visit.

In Bali, Indonesia, there is a midwife named Robin Lim who supports childbirth, medical care, and education for people living in difficult circumstances around the world, including mothers and their families who have become homeless in the disaster and young mother-to-be who cannot afford childbirth bills due to poverty.

Robin Lim started the Bumi Sehat Foundation in 1995 and has established clinics in Indonesia and the Philippines. On top of that, for more than 20 years, they have been providing free medical care throughout the year (24/7) in disaster areas around the world.

At the clinic, more than 400 babies are born each year and tens of thousands of victims from affected areas have received help around the world. In recognition of her many years of distinguished service, she received the CNN’s Hero of the Year award in 2011 and the Earth Company’s Impact Hero Award 2016.

The Bumi Sehat International Maternity Center in Ubud, Bali, is one of Robin’s clinics. All expenses, such as hospitalization and operation, are covered by donations.

Something Robin told me left me in awe.

“We all think we choose our profession. But, in fact, your job might have been decided before you were born. God has chosen you to be the birth keeper. That is why you must take care of yourself. Please, take care of yourself. “

When I heard her words, tears started to come out and it just kept coming.
