The coexistence of indigenous tribes and modern medicine. Women of the indigenous tribes in the Omo-Valley often have a long journey ahead of them before giving birth. As their villages are sometimes days away from medical help, more and more women of the indigenous tribes in the Omo-Valley address maternity wards at regional medical posts, to reduce possible birth complications, including the death of the unborn child or the mother. Once arrived, they spend several days within these harmonious centers, where they find rest and support among sisterhood.
