BirthLink

Our activities are aimed at all healthcare professionals involved in maternal and neonatal care from the start of pregnancy until six weeks after birth.

BirthLink was established to provide support and education for all caregivers involved in maternal and newborn care. We seek to work with traditional and professional caregivers, and share ideas and practices, to develop skills in our day-to-day work and clinical roles for the benefits of mothers and babies everywhere.

Objectives

• To facilitate learning and development for safer midwifery, obstetric and neonatal practice by running skills sharing, interactive workshops and emergency skills training.
• To support neonatal departments through training, and improve basic facilities for low birthweight and sick babies.

BirthLink workshops are centred on key care principles embedded in The UN Millenium Project:
