Summary
| Description | Traditional midwives receive clean delivery kits as they graduate from USAID training in Liberia. USAID has improved conditions for expectant mothers and infants in Liberia, by working with traditional midwives - the front lines of childbirth in rural areas. Home birth is a tradition in Liberia - 63% of women deliver outside of a health facility. Recognizing the culture of home birth and knowledge among traditional midwives, USAID worked with the American College of Nurse-Midwives and Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to develop home-based life-saving skills training. The training utilizes traditional midwives’ respected roles in their communities and shifts the focus of their work to encouraging birth preparedness, recognizing and referring complications, and providing appropriate emergency care. |
