I am also an Indo-American. I have started the Professional Midwifery Development Project, India, with the goal to bring sustainable, professional midwifery care to rural India as soon possible. This will be no easy task, so I need everyone's help: experts in MCH in India, midwifery educators, government entities, investors, technical advisors, and entrepreneurs. Please help me achieve my vision of safe and dignifying maternity and newborn care and childbirth for the millions of India's poor women! I believe India will not even get close to achieving MDG #5 without private-public partnership. I am a certified nurse-midwife in the US, with 14 years of maternal-child health experience.
