A woman endures her labor at MSF’s Centre de Référence en Urgence Obstétricale (CRUO) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. She didn't meet the hospital's admission standard and is transferred to another hospital.

CRUO provides free obstetric care to pregnant women experiencing serious and life-threatening complications such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, obstetric hemorrhage, prolonged and obstructed labour and uterine rupture, which local government hospitals cannot handle. Since the U.S. and Haitian government cut budget in maternal care, CRUO has been seriously overwhelmed by increasing number of patients, coupled with the birth peak approximately 9 months after the carnival.
