[Perspectives] Edna Adan Ismail: midwife and champion of women's health

“I have an incurable disease; I suffer from I've-got-to-fix-that”, says Edna Adan Ismail, midwife and founder of the non-profit Edna Adan Hospital in Somaliland. At the age of 80 years, she has no intention of slowing down. “There's so much to be done and why should I miss all the fun”, she says. “But I am trying to delegate more and I'm finding people who can do things very well. I don't want the hospital to die with me.”
