Midwifery Project

One of our staff ladies in Iraq serves local women with a team of midwives who come together from different organizations. They live in the same region, and all share a passion for empowering locals to provide better maternity care for their communities. Below are brief descriptions of the various programs they facilitate:

The Postnatal Program provides home visits to new moms & babies living in refugee camps who would not otherwise initiate care after birth.

Through the Hospital Project they aim to facilitate change through assisting hospital management to raise the practices of the labor ward to match the hospital standards, so that women receive better quality of care.

The Doula Initiative is assisting locally trained and certified doulas in gaining hospitals’ support to serve women in childbirth and build sustainable businesses.
