Ágnes Geréb has two sons, two daughters and two grandchildren, but the number of the latter will increase to three very soon. She feels her life’s work is affirmed by the fact that her elder daughter has become a fantastic mother and her younger daughter is expertly caring for her twin nephews. Ágnes worked as an obstetrician-gynaecologist at an obstetric clinic for 17 years, but considers it a mistake! She has worked as an independent midwife for 12 years—not an easy job in Hungary.
