This year I have chosen to raise money for AMREF’s e– learning project training midwives in
Uganda AMREF is a charity which believes that a healthy Africa needs healthy mothers and African mothers need African midwives. With just one midwife for every 5,000 mothers, Uganda is far from able to deliver quality maternal health care. Hindering their ability to provide high-level care even further, is that the majority of Uganda’s midwives are only trained to ‘enrolled’ status – the standard minimum nursing qualification – and are only capable of performing basic procedures. Many midwives do not have the opportunity to up-their skills to ‘registered’ status which would enable them to handle and manage many more complicated cases without having to consult their supervising nurse or doctor.
The traditional model of health education involves residential, classroom-based training which can force nurses to leave their work for up to 3 years. Due to the financial costs and lost wages, midwives are often unable to up-skill themselves, meaning many nurses work for over twenty years without being updated on current health trends and developments. The result is that many are underequipped and uninformed about Uganda’s health problems today, yet midwives are fundamental to providing health services in rural areas.
With an aim of addressing the significant human resource gap in the Uganda health system, AMREF’s eLearning project builds on the success of an innovative model designed and implemented by AMREF which uses Electronic Learning (eLearning) to up-skill nurses in Kenya.
Using this approach, it costs 856 pounds to train a single Midwife in Uganda. On average a single midwife can
serve up to 500 mothers each year.
By attending this event you are al-ready helping to raise money towards the cost of training a midwife.
Thank you for your support.
