Pauktuutit has announced an upcoming Midwifery Forum on Tuesday, March 28 to the 30th.
This is an urgent need to increase Inuit midwifery all across in Inuit Nunangat.
The Board of Directors continues to identify as a key priority for Inuit women. To further this important work, they will host key stake holders at their first national Inuit Midwifery Framework to guide efforts calling for return of Inuit led midwifery services.
The generations, Inuit women relied on local midwives, who traditionally filled a role of productive health care to expectant mothers. Giving births to a child was a family and community centered event by longstanding traditional birthing practices, unfamiliar to Inuit.
