Passage: "In a village, an elderly midwife named Amma grew a small herbal garden behind her house. She used herbs for common coughs and stomach troubles, and mothers trusted her gentle hands. When a new health clinic opened, some feared Amma would oppose it. Instead, Amma visited the clinic, showed the doctor her garden, and asked when a case needed modern medicine and when simple care was enough. The doctor, in turn, taught Amma to recognise danger signs in pregnancy. Together, they helped more mothers than either could alone. Amma said that old knowledge and new knowledge are not enemies. They are two hands of the same care." Why did Amma visit the new clinic instead of opposing it?
