This is a great little PSA for a better trained international community of midwives.
The problem, as I see it, is that we tend to train from one model (a western model) of care which fails to take into account the cultural needs and resources of a community. I think hand in hand with the medical training of midwives, we must do training's in critical risk assessment based on a community of cultural competent midwives. We have to start thinking about how culture effects medicine and inversely, how western medicine effects culture, if we want to have truly integrated approaches to treating women.
