One of BackpackEMR’s newest partners, Power of a Nickel, recently made the news in their home state of Oklahoma! On their recent trip to the Philippines, their departure was delayed by a typhoon. During their extra day in-country, two nurses happened upon a mother going into labor on the street. They intervened in the most desperate of circumstances to save the baby’s life. Watch this video to see the whole story.
