50 / 50 : what do you think about male nurses / midwives and would you want them to deliver your baby ?
Pa Kemo , third year media and communication student university of Worcester : I think male nurse / midwives like their female colleagues do a fantastic job in terms of helping and guiding patients when it comes to treatment and I will not have a qualm in them attending to my wife during child birth .

Mrs Adama Jawara Expectant Mum : I dont have any negative mind against them , I think the society should appreciate their efforts as health personnel as long as they know what they are doing , it doesn ’ t matter what their sexes are , the most important thing is for us to get treated , and as a Muslim woman and pregnant for that matter , I wouldn ’ t mind a male midwife to deliver my baby , as long as he gets the qualification .
