For this week's episode, we sat down for an important conversation with Heba, a midwife who spent six weeks this past summer providing reproductive healthcare in war-torn Gaza. We encourage you to listen to Heba's stories and insights, as she reflects on her experiences providing essential reproductive healthcare. We sincerely thank Heba for speaking with us.
