Hello wise people:)
A few of the Bmid students and I are planing a trip to India this Christmas to
experience midwifery in another culture. What we're wondering is have any of you
been over there and had anybirth experiences with Indian women.
Do you think we could volenteer at a hospital
I know some years back one of the midwives I worked with at KEMH used to
volunteer at Mother Teresa's hospital in Calcutta. I have no idea how you
would go about organising that - maybe contact Internation Red Cross?

Hi Julie, I spent 3 weeks in India at the beginning
of this yearon a volunteer medical mission - hoping to see home births
etc. Unfortunately there was a huge push to have the rural women birth in
the hospitals, with them being offered 'family planning operations' after their
2nd baby.
