Midwife
Caption Christine, a Kenyan midwife leads the maternity services in MSF primary health centres in Jamtoli and Hakimpara, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. © Anthony Kwan/MSFAs a midwife with MSF your experience in both complicated and normal deliveries will be essential.
From visiting expectant mums deep in the jungle to training birth attendants in busy maternity departments in big hospital settings, our midwives are a vital part of most project teams.
Responsibilities
As a Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) midwife you'll work in both health centres and conduct outreach work in the community.
No matter what the context - natural disasters, conflicts or poverty-affected communities - babies will continue to be born and midwives will always be needed.
It's a challenging and rewarding role and you'll be responsible for some or all of the following:
Pre- and post-delivery care Deliveries, often complicated Care of survivors of sexual violence Setting up maternity departments in new health centres/hospitals Working with community birth attendants to ensure safe community birthing practices Running awareness programs in the community Training local midwives On-call care, often 24 hoursAs a midwife with MSF, your experience in both complicated and normal deliveries will be essential.
You could be involved in setting up a mother-child health department in a rural clinic, providing reproductive health care from mobile clinics or treating patients in an urban hospital.
Your training skills will be crucial because you may be assigned to help traditional birth attendants develop new skills.
At the same time, you will need to learn from the women you treat to understand cross-cultural issues surrounding childbirth.
The tiny cramped compound is always buzzing with children's cries and laughter. There, we treat and fix almost anything and everything. Malaria (mostly), flu, broken bones, cuts, pneumonia... you name it
