Empowerment of Midwives at Women’s Hospital
The goal of this project was to empower midwives to repair episiotomies that are encountered during childbirth. A training program was formulated and implemented in June 2013 that included theory, simulation and training on real life patients under supervision. As of June 2014, 68 percent of midwives in the labor wards have been trained to suture independently, resulting in reduced waiting times and improved patient satisfaction.
