The Hamlin Midwifery College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Organization profile
Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia (HFE) is a world leading organization committed to the treatment and reintegration of patients suffering from Obstetric Fistula and the training and deployment of qualified midwives to prevent Obstetric Fistula and other childbirth injuries.
As part of prevention strategy, HFE has opened Hamlin Midwifery College in 2007and is producing competent midwives who are able to provide compassionate and respectful services to the rural community in Ethiopia.
The number of midwives across the country has increased tremendously over the past 10 years following the expansion of Universities and attempts have been made to address the issue of accessibility of skilled birth attendants. However, the quality of services being provided has been compromised by the lack of competencies in basic obstetrics and newborn health care which is a reflection of the existing Education system.
Effective education offers a balance of theoretical and practical experiences to help learners develop competencies that are essential for their entering a Healthcare profession and continuing to develop professionally throughout their careers. Education is intricately linked to social context. Broad social, cultural, historical, and political forces interrelate to form and shape teaching and learning, and thus the essential competencies that learners must develop.
In order to improve the maternal and newborn health care services at the grass rootlevel, highly educated health care professionals are required at all level of care system that are capable enough to generate evidences, integrate, implement and evaluate accordingly.
