Closing thoughtFrom a Belgian midwife at Glasgow who was

asked what the Congress in 2008 meant for her;‘I can go back to my country and move the

mountains’I do not know if the Belgian mountains are still in

the same place, but I am confident that midwife removed hurdles that prevented her providing the standard of midwifery care she wanted to provide

May you move many mountains in Indonesia as a result of Bali 2020 ……

thank you
