On the outskirts of Banda Aceh, midwife Radliana is making a house call. She climbs the steps to a white house with a bright green door and knocks. “Salaam Alaikum,” she calls.

When the door opens, Radliana is welcomed by Asri, 30, who is eight months pregnant. Asri is expecting her second child. She has little money for health care and is too far along in her pregnancy to travel to a clinic.

Radliana checks Asri’s vital signs and listens to her abdomen through a silver cone. Everything seems normal, she reports.

Midwives like Radliana have traditionally served as primary caregivers for families in Indonesia. In Aceh, however, decades of unrest, followed by the 2004 tsunami, have led to a scarcity of proper medical resources.
