Abstract
Tanzania is one of ten countries contributing to 61% and 66% of the global total of maternal and newborn deaths, respectively. There is a critical shortage of skilled professionals to provide adequate care - about 2,720 midwives in Tanzania and 140 obstetricians, representing a combined density of only .2 maternity health providers per 1000 population. Through this project, Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) and its development partner Tanzanian Registered Midwives Association (TAMA) have increased capacity to provide critical support to member midwives, supporting improved health outcomes for women and newborns in both countries.
