They have no electricity, running water, or reliable phone reception. The only way to access the village is to drive five hours through multiple military checkpoints, followed by a three-hour donkey or camel trek up a mountain. The only doctor here, Doctor Gisma, was recruited by CARE. This is her story.   Three reasons I became a doctor     1. I think we need to help people everywhere.     “Because there is so much need here in this region, I wanted to help people, and so I was the first doctor to come here in over ten years. The clinic is open five days a week, and being the only doctor, I am always on call. For any emergency at night or on my days off, I still go and help.”     Doctor Giwa’s regular services   [✓]( Safe baby deliveries   [✓]( Immunizations for children   [✓]( Trauma and injury treatment   [✓]( Women's health services and contraceptives       2. Saving lives is a woman’s job.     “Not everyone in Sudan feels [women can and should be doctors]. Women here are more likely to have no education. They are expected to be in the home, not work outside in jobs like being a doctor or a teacher.”     "[As a doctor] I have saved the lives of many people and can help people in emergencies." [Doctor Giwa checking blood pressure of a patient](     3. The happiness of people makes me smile from my heart.     “Pain is the most difficult thing in life. I always feel the need to help people in pain. When I feel the people are happy, all my tiredness is gone by knowing people are healthy. [Here] I feel like I have become part of the community.”   [-----------------------------](   Doctor Giwa and the Gorlangbang health and nutrition clinic are supported by CARE donors.
