Midwifery Electives/ Internships and Volunteer Programs
Program Overview
This program is suited for midwifery students and medical professionals willing to volunteer in Africa. Working as a certified midwife/nurse requires significant exposure to formal schooling. This should be accompanied by actual exposure to antenatal and postnatal care for women and their babies as well as support for their families and partners. Work closely with skilled nurses, midwives, obstetrics physicians, family physicians, and other healthcare professionals. This gives you the opportunity to interact and learn how inadequate resources, culture, and environment affect healthcare delivery. Our Midwifery Volunteering program offers opportunities to gain exposure to global health. Work under professional supervision in hospitals, clinics, or communities in Kenya or Tanzania. Become exposed to different situations while in service, thus helping you to overcome work pressure since the demand for midwife professionals in the region is high. Interns must be midwifery students and volunteers must be medical professionals.
