In a country where educational opportunities for women are limited, Cure Hospital is pleased to have recently implemented a four-week-long Midwifery Capacity Building training.  Conducted inside the hospital, trainees gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience working on patients.  The trainees are current midwives working at public hospitals across Afghanistan and are referred to the program by the Afghan Midwives Association. Areas of training include: normal delivery; postpartum; antenatal; family planning; and obstetric fistula awareness and prevention. The program includes one pre-test and one post-test and concludes with the presentation of a certificate of completion.
