Kon Tum midwife changes minds, saves livesVietNamNet Bridge – Old habits die hard, but Y Ngoc, 38, from Dak Sao Commune in Central Highlands Kon Tum Province’s Tu Mo Rong District is determined to make a difference in her village’s reproductive healthcare for women. Midwives are taught to examine and monitor fetal development and assist in delivery at health clinics. In other cases, the newborn could not breathe and then died or the mother had hemorrhage,” said Nguyen Thi Dieu Anh, deputy director of Kon Tum Province’s Reproductive Health Care Centre. Training courses should be organised regularly with a view to enhance the knowledge and professional skills of village birth attendants. She hoped that the problems would be solved so that they could make more contributions to the health care service for mother and child.
