Our Long Midnight

Reflections of a Physician on Life and Faith During a Global Pandemic

By: Dr Jean Chamberlain-Froese

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended our lives, assumptions, and relationships, leaving many of us disoriented. During this time, Dr. Jean Chamberlain-Froese has shared her own journey in regular blog posts and so helped readers navigate theirs. Her reflections as physician, wife, mother, and daughter have given friends and colleagues insight into their own situations, as have her perceptions on managing change, caring for others, aging, sadness, and mental health. In her posts, compiled here in Our Long Midnight, Dr. Jean also thoughtfully reflects on how her faith life has grounded her during this challenging time. In this book, readers will find inspiration to grow emotionally, socially, and spiritually in difficult circumstances.

The Game Changers

True Stories about Saving Mothers and Babies in East Africa

By: Jean Chamberlain Froese,Patricia Paddey

The Game Changers is a passionate wake-up call to recognize and rectify a daily tragedy and a global injustice. In the developing world, 300,000 women and girls die during childbirth each year--needlessly, and often agonizingly, from preventable causes. From the frontlines in East Africa, obstetrician Dr. Jean Chamberlain Froese (recognized with the Order of Canada for her humanitarian work) and journalist Patricia Paddey share compelling stories about new initiatives that are empowering women and girls, and changing the social fabric. From her firsthand experiences working to save the lives of mothers and babies in the Majority World, "Dr. Jean" (as she is known internationally) realized that more foreign aid would never stop the pointless losses. Only a complete reversal in attitudes could tackle the complex web of causes; only by confronting the problem on many fronts and "changing the whole game" could the most vulnerable be rescued. The Game Changers shares the moving story of how local leaders are penetrating their culture and working to transform families, institutions and society, and offers readers suggestions for practical ways that they, too, can make a difference.

Where Have All the Mothers Gone? Stories of Courage and Hope During Childbirth Among the World's Poorest Women

By: Jean Chamberlain Froese

While childbirth is a normal part of most women's lives and a process which usually proceeds without any real risk, for the world's poorest women this is often not the case. Poverty, malnutrition, female genital mutilation, child marriage and AIDS put these women in a high risk bracket from Day 1 of their pregnancies. To make matters worse, when things go wrong they often have no easy access to healthcare, when they get to a clinic or hospital skilled staff may not be available or, if they are, the drugs and equipment they need may well not be at their disposal. War, natural disasters and a lack of infrastructure, not to mention corruption and entrenched cultural attitudes which are not sympathetic towards the challenges women face present yet more problems. In this book the author, an obstetrician gynaecologist with extensive experience of working in developing countries, provides an insight into these and other problems by telling individual women's stories. Each account highlights a different problem. For this special study edition university lecturer and teacher Sylvie Donna has written questions to go with each account to help facilitate reflection and discussion; the questions can either be used for personal study or by tutors in seminars; the book's index will help students complete assignments, think through issues and develop potential solutions. Work which is already being carried out to help vulnerable populations is also outlined by the author, Dr Jean Chamberlain Froese, who founded the Canadian charity Save the Mothers, and by her husband, freelance journalist Thomas Froese. Where relevant, statistics are also provided so as to give readers a clearer picture of the real situation facing women and healthcare providers in some of the world's poorest countries.

Women's Health in the Majority World

Issues and Initiatives

By: Laurie Elit

This is an innovative text using didactic information and case studies to address those issues that affect most of the world's women. The first half of the book focuses on health issues that specifically affect women such as maternal mortality, fistulas, and cervical cancer. The second part of the book discusses how agencies such as governments, non-governmental organisations, and professional societies can partner and improve standards for women. By affecting the status of women, the whole family and community ultimately benefit.
