Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

The push for pregnant women to get emergency places in managed isolation continues.  Journalist Charlotte Bellis has now accepted an emergency MIQ spot.  The offer was granted based on the risk factor of Bellis and her partner being in Afghanistan - rather than the need for time-critical scheduled treatment.  College of Midwives chief Alison Eddy told Kate Hawkesby pregnancy should be a condition prioritised for MIQ. “It’s a very important and crucial time in your life and having the support that you need, your family around you, the right to be in your country to have all those things.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
