Description:
In 1989, the government of Indonesia launched the Midwife in the Village programme. Its purpose was to reduce maternal death by assigning a resident midwife to each village in the country. By definition, she would live in the village and be part of the community she served. In 2005, Immpact examined the effect of the programme on the health and survival of mothers in two districts in Java. [from author’s description]
