Cambodian Midwives Project

Strengthening Cambodia's midwifery sector

Through the work of two AVI volunteers, a Midwifery Preceptor Adviser and Midwifery Course Adviser, we are working with Cambodia's University of Health Science's Technical School for Medical Care (TSMC) to reduce the country's maternal-infant mortality rates through improved safe motherhood and birthing programs and services.

Working in partnership

With funding from AusAID, the project is supporting the TSMC's vision to implement a new three-year course for Cambodia's midwifery sector. This effort will improve the quality of midwifery education in Cambodia and strengthen maternal-infant care.
