Training Midwives in Afghanistan
Organization information
Action for Development (AfD)
Location: Geneva, Switzerland
Summary
In Afghanistan, maternal and infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Many deaths could be prevented, but most families are still without access to basic healthcare, especially those living in rural areas. Midwifery training is key to improving women's access to the healthcare they need, and to improving maternal and infant's health. AfD's Midwifery Program aims at equipping midwives with the necessary skills to reduce maternal and infant mortality.
