Within the Midwifery project you will be placed in the maternity department of a clinic. You will shadow, observe and assist with the daily operations. This may include preparing materials, administrative work, keeping track of patients and assisting with check ups. You will be working with mothers at all stages of their pregnancies, not just during the birthing process. The tasks you take part in and whether you will be involved in births will depend on your experience and knowledge.
