Liberia has the world\u2019s third-lowest GDP. Its rate of maternal mortality is 80 times higher than the UK, and its proportion of qualified midwives 24 times lower. 44% of Liberian women give birth without professional help. The presentation will outline how HLMT has raised funds and twinned with a midwifery training institute in Zorza, Liberia, and is sponsoring students. Key issues include: \u2022 Building trust with key stakeholders in Liberia \u2022 Ensuring that HLMT supports the school\u2019s and students\u2019 needs rather than impose its agendas from afar \u2022 Ensuring that its funds are spent for the purposes intended. In exploring HLMT\u2019s work, the presentation will cover these ethical and logistical issues and will enable participants to engage in active discussion&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5th May is the International Day of the Midwife, and an international online conference is being held to mark the day.
