Reprieve for deaf patients as nurses training launched

A 28-year-old expectant woman in her final trimester experiences a gush of pain in her belly. Her brother hires a taxi and takes her to the nearest health centre.

At the hospital she gets frustrated as she tries to explain to the staff the nature of the pain in her abdomen. Doctors and nurses are tongue-tied, literally, and admit her on assumption that labour contractions have began.
