Did you know that modern C sections were invented by African women— centuries before they were standard elsewhere?

Midwives and surgeons living around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria perfected the procedure hundreds of years ago. When a baby couldn’t be delivered vaginally, these healers sedated the laboring mother using large amounts of banana wine. They tied the mother to the bed for safety, sterilized a knife using heat, and made the incision, acting quickly as a team to prevent excessive blood loss or the accidental cutting of other organs. The combination of sterile, sharp equipment and sedation made the procedure surprisingly calm and comfortable for the mother.

After the baby was delivered, antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Women rarely developed infections, shock, or excessive blood loss after a cesarean section and the most common problem reported was that it took longer for the mother’s milk to come in (an issue that was solved with friends and relatives who would nurse the baby instead).

In Uganda, C sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and DRC, they were typically done by female midwives.

The majority of women and babies survived this, and when questioned about it by European colonists in the mid-1800s, many people in Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the procedure had been performed routinely since time immemorial.

This was at a time when Europeans had only barely started to figure out that they should wash their hands before performing surgery, when nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and when nearly 100% of European women died if a C section was performed.

Detailed explanations of Ugandan C-sections were published globally in scholarly journals by the 1880s and helped the rest of the world learn how to save mothers and babies with minimal complications.

So if you’re one of the people who wouldn’t be alive today without a C-section, you have Ugandan surgeons and Tanzanian and Congolese midwives to thank for their contributions to medical science.

Place An Order

To place an order, please specify the type of tshirts/designs you would like by sending a message to either three of the social media accounts that I have:

- Twitter: @bangtandawn

- Instagram: @bangtan_dawn

- Tumblr: @bangtandawn

- Paypal: paypal.me/bangtandawns

For personalised t-shirts:

- once we have gotten in contact, you can specify the t-shirt colour, size and the design that you would like. As this business has just been started, there are limited shirt colours - I will specify which colours are available

- i’ll draw the t-shirt design so you can confirm that you are happy with it.

- you will then be asked to pay via a Paypal link. The pricing depends heavily on the shirt, painting materials and postage costs. Pricing will not exceed £20 within the UK. International Prices will differ due to postage costs.

- discounts will be available for orders of more than one shirt.

NB: there may be some minor differences between the design that I draw and the finished product due to the fact that it is hand-painted. I always try my best to keep them as similar as possible.
