As early as in 1920, Dr Mary Poonen Lukose delivered modern-day Kerala’s first C-section baby and began training professional midwives with the support of Travancore's Maharani Sethu Bai. And by 1929, this had led to 1.6 million residents of the state having access to modern medicine! #Respect #RealLifeHeroine #WomenInHistory
