À propos de cet audio
Midwifery is a practice that dates back centuries. For millennia, women relied on midwives to attend them before, during, and after childbirth. With the evolution of medicine over the years, the use of midwives has waned in developed nations, whereas many low and middle-income countries still rely on them. However, over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the use of midwives in countries like the US. In today’s episode, we will explore the world of midwifery and its impact on women's health domestically and beyond.
I’m joined today by Dr. Jennifer Stevens, the Co-founder of Goodbirth.net, Attending Faculty Midwife at Boston Medical Center, WHO Consultant, and so much more. Dr. Stevens is a public health professional who focuses on women's health care in low-resource areas, safe, respectful care, a human rights-based approach, and quality midwifery care. She believes in the value of women’s voices in enabling a rights-based approach to health care and using a participatory action approach in research and implementation.
