In Afghanistan we visited project sites of Healnet TPO, a Dutch based NGO with years of experience in Afghanistan. We visited project sites in Jalalabad and around to learn more on their midwifery programs that run throughout the government. Their policies have now been implemented by the Afghan government through the whole country.

Direct Relief's Senior Program Manager, Lindsey Pollaczek with Community Midwife, Sado.
Sado was part of the first class of graduates from the Edna Adan University Hospital training program for Community Midwives. When asked why she decided to become a Community Midwife, Sado said it was the lack of trained health providers in her community that made her interested in this work.
Sado says she is happy that she has chosen this profession, yet she also recognizes the many challenges that midwives face working in a remote area like this, with limited resources: “Sometimes when we can’t help a woman we feel like running away. When we don’t have the equipment or means we feel very bad. But if we run away, there will be no one, and so we stay, and we do what we can.”

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”
“Nurse Midwife” as it appeared in the Dec. 3, 1951, issue of LIFE magazine.

(Karen Kasmauski/MCSP). Birthing Center at the King Fahed IBN Abdul-Azezz Women and Children Hospital in Gusau, Nigeria. The women are mainly cared for by midwives, but the midwives are trained to stop problems and consult doctors assigned to the hospital. While Aisha Sulaiman had a very difficult birth, she was carrying twins, one was breeched. The midwife delivered that child but then the contractions couldn't get the other one down so they did a C-section on her.
The first child born, a female who was pulled out by her legs. She was attended by junior midwife, Jamila Sani Shariff, 24 who is only a few months qualified.

This week we met our midwife, Rebecca. Bella was enamored with her, and after I was up on the table...Bella wanted to be up there too. With a baby in her tummy, of course. So, she shoved her doll up her dress and declared that she was 9 months pregnant. Rebecca told her to eat healthy and rest...and amazingly, she did turn down some sugary sweets later in the day because "Rebecca said I need to eat healthy". :) Maybe we need to go see the midwife every day.
We LOVE Rebecca...and we're so blessed to have found her. Yay!
