 Soroptimist International South West Pacific, announce the commencment of their latest project - Birthing in the Pacific, this project aims to improve maternal health.
The death of a child is a tragedy.
The World is 10 years into a 15 year action plan known as the Millennium Development Goals. The current SISWP Federation Project – Birthing in the Pacific (BIP) established in 2010, will focus on Goal 5 – Improve Maternal Health. One of the biggest killers of children under five is the failure of neonatal care, partly due to the lack of skilled birth attendants and appropriate maternal advice. The initial focus of this project will be upskilling and professionally developing midwives as a way of reducing the very high rate of infant and maternal mortality in PNG.
