Midwifery Professional Development
Prioritizing Respectful Maternity Care to End Preventable Maternal and Newborn Deaths & Disabilities
As part of CSI's Saving Lives At Birth program, CSI offers midwifery professional development skills course to address the chronic shortage of skilled midwives, knowledge gaps in best practices, lagging health system, and human rights violation of childbearing women which all contribute to high preventable/treatable maternal and neonatal deaths and disabilities.
The CSI midwifery skills course is intended to end obstetric violence, improve competency skills of licensed midwives, to ensure midwives' day-to-day duties align with current and best practices to recognize danger signs, how to manage or de-escalate them to save life of Mom and Baby, and to provide respectful maternity care. The robust training encompasses hands-on learning in BEmONC, Newborn Resuscitation and Care, Helping Mothers Survive & additional critical maternal newborn care interventions by using modern technologies, information and products.
CSI works closely with White Ribbon Alliance and partners to develop guidelines and ensure Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) is implemented across health facilities especially in low and middle income countries where despite progress, major challenges contributing to preventable maternal-newborn deaths remain. CSI incorporates the WRA RMC Charter: the Universal Rights of Childbearing Women in training by applying the seven identified human rights areas in maternal health to holistically address safe motherhood. Follow up visits are made to various health facilities to ensure RMC is being practiced and reinforced to benefit mother-baby dyad.
Since 2014, CSI Tanzania has been working with midwives across health facilities in Dar es Salaam. In September 2016, under the leadership of Tanzania's midwifery guru - Mama Stella Mpanda, CSI rolled out Midwifery Professional Development in Tanzania, training licensed midwives to provide quality and respectful maternity care.
