CNN Hero Ibu Robin Lim: A Midwife Service with Love 

Ibu Robin Lim won the CNN Hero award in 2011 as a free delivery service for poor people in Ubud, Bali and tsunami victims in Meulaboh, West Aceh.

His speech is calm and gentle voice, and he was able to explain the importance of the health of pregnant women and newborns, with simple medical language.

Ibu Robin Lim doing his job with sincerity and dedication. It never occurred, that one when his job as a midwife for 20 years in Bali, making a leading television station, CNN, gave him the title of "Hero 2011". Iu Robin tells the impression, in a conversation in American Cultural Center.

"When voting and @ America (American Cultural Center) reported that there are 20 thousand voters and report every day as a reminder. We have many friends in Indonesia. I think when the people of the world want to select "number one Hero" must (candidates) that would otherwise be, because (patients) at Bumi Sehat Clinic does not have a computer so can not vote, "said Robin Lim.

Filipino women of mixed blood-the United States, said his clinic too simple. CNN Hero award winning opportunities for Bumi Sehat Clinic to get more donors. Prize money of very large CNN, will be used solely to promote the clinic in Bali and Meulaboh.

To be sure, Ibu Robin will not stop campaigning "Gentle Birth", which gives attention to the mother and the newborn with love and concern.

Ibu Robin Lim said, "We have to create a new clinic because there are parts that were damaged by the earthquake in Bali. There is an opportunity to provide an understanding of what it is "gentle Birth" to every mother in the world, because it can save the lives of mothers. In Indonesia, we have a lot of people that move "Gentle Birth", as in Java, and there are also some obstetricians. "

All midwives in Bali and Aceh are now busy serving mothers who want to give birth, said Ibu Robin. Since 20005 there are 113 thousand people already get free health care and treatment of the Bumi Sehat Clinic. In addition to exclusive breastfeeding there is one important thing to remember couples who want to have children.

"There are free recipes to have a child who is smarter that pregnant women need a lot of laughs. There is a sad name hormone cortisol. If the expectant mother a lot, a lot of worry, a lot of crying, surely much cortisol in the body, it will affect the child's brain later. So, this so your task to make a pregnant woman laugh, "said Ibu Robin Lim.

Eka, a pharmacist from Bali asked after the rejection of the obstetrician who had rejected the labor practices at the Bumi Sehat Clinic. He asks, "I am a pharmacist and from Bali. Thank you to Ms. Robin, one of my nephews was born at Bumi Sehat Clinic. Robin's mother had said a lot of opposition and resistance from specialists, like what is it? "

"It used to be, but now it is not. There is a matter of cutting the umbilical cord. Remember when you first nephew was born we do not immediately cut the cord because then the baby could be anemic if straight cut after the newborn. At Bumi Sehat Clinic we wait long. There is a doctor or midwife who want fast, it bothers me to see it. Especially if the baby is immediately placed in the nursery, "said Ibu Robin Lim.

Infants were immediately taken to the nursery will lose the chance to get the milk first. Robin calls "sudden separation of mother and baby" as sabotage, and this will make the baby's immunity is reduced. Approximately 40-60 percent of the content contained in the placental blood of newborns, and lying there on the cord, so Ibu Robin Lim.

Note : Ibu Lim prefers to be called a Ibu than the mother, so I edited some posts that I quoted from CNN with the words Ibu Robin Lim. Ibu in English laguage its mean Mother.
