AFGHANISTAN: Midwives defy tradition and save lives

Women in Afghanistan have gained the trust of their women, advocating for trust in midwifery. 

  • 24,000 women die before, during, or after childbirth due to lapses in the healthcare system. 
  • Maternal death has dropped 50% in Afghanistan.
Why can't Americans trust midwives like these women do? Midwives are working specifically for women, which doctors and obstetricians don't always do.
