Midwife Zebo Rusieva works in a maternity ward in Tajikistan—a country with an estimated 32 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. Midwives can play a significant role in the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality. However, in Tajikistan, the lack of adequate training has kept midwives from serving as members of facility health care teams. The Feed the Future Tajikistan Health and Nutrition Activity works to address this and other challenges in Tajikistan’s maternal, newborn and child health care system by providing training for midwives like Rusieva.
