About this listen

 In this deeply emotional episode of Just As Well, GP and BBC Morning Live's Dr. Punam Krishan opens up about the birth trauma that nearly took her life and how it transformed her mission in medicine. From ICU and sepsis to postnatal depression, Dr. Punam shares what so many women experience but too few talk about. We discuss the gaps in postnatal care, the stigma around maternal mental health, especially in South Asian communities, and how she's championing compassionate, preventative care for every new mum.
