World's Busiest Maternity Hospital - in Manila.
On BBC2 tonight ( Thursday 31 October ) the “ contrasting fortunes of the people of Manila … are told through the lives of three women in this documentary … about a public hospital ( Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Santa Cruz ) where 24,000 children are born every year “. That’s 1/5 of ALL births in Metro Manila ; and 3% of UK births ( over 800,000/ year ) !
Reproductive Health Law ? As we all know, its implementation was delayed by the Philippines Supreme Court in March of this year !

There you go ing again
I am questioning HER estimate, not your statement and am giving simple equations as to why I question HER. So you're telling us that you believe everything you read You seem to take great delight in questioning political statements, and as you say they have a much better idea of what they're doing than yourself
Think about it Joe

The lady's first answer was she didn't know how many she delivered. The interviewer then pushed her and she just said 200,000. Shall we just agree that over her 28 years she's delivered loads of babies and done a great job.
Very good programme and delighted that the young girl got her job at the end

What an excellent programme! A truly fascinating and moving insight.
Next week's programme looks like it will be just as interesting. IMHO, this series is ESSENTIAL viewing. More top quality programming from the BBC.

what a good idea, think about it first, well you are the expert on the NHS (ambulance workshops and the state of the NHS)
so I'll ask you how many babies has she delivered then
I'll help you out
my misses spent 2 months working in that hospital during her clerkship, she said she delivered about 15 babies a day, so it is possible that as a senior nurse could have delivered 25 babies a shift.
25 * 5 = 125 a week,
48 working wks a year = 6,000
6,000 * 28yrs = 168,000 after all its the world's busiest maternity hospital
as for trolling, your the only one who questioned her estimate, after all as Marco said she was pushed for a figure.
Maybe she should have thought about that before opening her mouth
If she worked 13 hour days, every day for 40 years and delivered 1 baby an hour that still wouldn't add up to 200000

a very moving program, a tear of joy for the parents and the new job for the young lady too,
Such a vast difference to the people who it seems have everything OTHER THAN LOOKS , to the many who live on very little, just my thoughts , no harm meant

one of the many comments from Ems was why do they always seem to show the slums when there are beautiful places too,

Pointless discussing it with you isn't it Joe, because you always think you're right Did your misses actually deliver 15 babies a day or did she assist in the delivery
Tell me, how did you get your status as a moderator, when all you do is troll and antagonise
Tell you what, why not try moderating for once and just concede that she may have exaggerated a bit, try to bear in mind that this debate over figures was being discussed before the programme was aired AND before any one of us knew she was being pushed for a figure.

well i thinks thats the image the media have here of the Philippines, thou there are a lot of slums, but as you've said there are many beautiful places but people move to find work.
have you been to the slums around manila bay ?

No, I broke her statement down into an equation, as in I doubted her figure, before it was stated that she was bullied into giving a guess.
You still avoid my very pertinent question about how you became a moderator when all you do is antagonise
You are beginning to resemble the Vicky Pollard of this forum with all your "yeah but, no but" answers
