As a midwife with MSF your experience in both complicated and normal deliveries will be essential. 
 
From visiting expectant mums deep in the jungle to carrying out ante-natal checks, to training birth attendants in busy maternity departments in big hospital settings, MSF midwives are a vital part of most project teams.

Responsibilities 

Our midwives often have a dual responsibility; working in health centres and conducting outreach work in the community. No matter what the context - whether working in natural disasters, conflicts or poverty-affected communities - babies will continue to be born and midwives will always be needed. 
 
It's a challenging and rewarding role and you will be responsible for some or all of the following: 

• Pre and post-delivery care 
• Deliveries, often complicated 
• Care of survivors of sexual violence 
• Setting up maternity departments in new health centres or hospitals 
• Working with community birth attendants to ensure safe community birthing practices 
• Running awareness programs in the community 
• Training local midwives 
• On-call care, often 24 hours
