Physicians for Peace has partnered with volunteers to create educational training programs focused on midwives in developing countries. Our goal is to raise the standard of maternal/infant care in developing nations and areas experiencing crises in maternal/infant care.

Our volunteer medical personnel trains and educates midwives and other local healthcare workers. Most often midwives are primary care-givers in many of the countries where we work. The goal of providing training for new or improved practices and techniques will result in many mothers' and babies' lives saved. The Physicians for Peace volunteers teach on issues dealing with abnormal labor, post partum hemorrhage, eclampsia, and basic neonatal life support while bringing medical supplies, medications, and teaching aids to support the clinics.
