It is located 10km outside of Addis Ababa, on the same grounds as our <a href="http://hamlinfistula.org/en/what-we-do/rehabilitation-reintegration-program/">Rehabilitation and Reintegration Centre, Desta Mender</a>. </p> <p>Since 2007, over 250 Hamlin Midwives have graduated from the College. Each student undertakes a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Midwifery and commits to working as a Hamlin Midwife for a minimum of four years following their graduation. Students are deployed back to their local areas to work in Hamlin-supported midwifery clinics, where their skills are desperately needed. </p> <p>The curriculum meets the stringent standards of the<a href="https://internationalmidwives.org/"> International Confederation of Midwives</a>, including the precondition that students conduct at least 40 deliveries before they graduate. Each student is on a full Hamlin scholarship, funded by generous donors around the world. There are currently 68 students studying the Bsc in Midwifery. </p> <p>The Hamlin College of Midwives is a cornerstone of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia’s vision: ensuring that women in Ethiopia have access to timely and quality maternal healthcare, preventing obstetric fistulas.</p> <p>In 2022, we welcomed <a href="http://hamlinfistula.org/en/about-us/our-clinical-program-team/">Konjit Kassahun</a> as the incoming Dean of the Hamlin College of Midwives and Head of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia’s nationwide Prevention Program encompassing the clinics and midwives.

As a postgraduate program, the Masters consists of 55 credit hours of study and 582 hours of clinical practice that will be completed over two and a half years. </p> <p>Key outcomes of Hamlin’s Masters in Midwifery include:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Reducing new incidences of obstetric fistula and maternal/neonatal deaths</li> <li>Increasing the number of safe deliveries </li> <li>Providing quality neonatal care post childbirth </li> <li>Reducing crisis referrals to Hamlin hospitals for emergency caesarean deliveries due to early detection of pregnancy/childbirth complications by Hamlin Midwives. </li> </ul> <p>Graduates from Hamlin’s Masters in Midwifery will be able to perform caesarean deliveries in health clinics, a game changer for maternal health in rural Ethiopia.

Hamlin Midwives play an essential role in preventing fistula injuries and saving the lives of hundreds of mothers and babies every year. <em></em><em> </em><em></em></p> <p>Based in more than 90 Hamlin-supported midwifery clinics across rural Ethiopia, these trained professionals also support, nurture and empower women while sharing invaluable knowledge, building trusting networks and transforming entire communities. </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-medium"></div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="822" alt="" data-srcset="https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clinic-Map-1024x822.png 1024w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clinic-Map-300x241.png 300w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clinic-Map-768x616.png 768w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clinic-Map.png 1089w" data-src="http://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clinic-Map-1024x822.png" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" class="wp-image-2138 lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" /></figure></div> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-medium"></div> <p>Over the past year alone, Hamlin Midwives have safely delivered 18,606 babies. In FY22 there was not one maternal death in a clinic where a Hamlin Midwife was placed. </p> <p>In recent times, our midwives have also been on the frontline in the fight against COVID-19, helping to prevent infection in the communities they work in. </p> <p>Since 2012, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia has partnered with <a href="http://hamlinfistula.org/en/partnerships/program-partners#greenlamp">GreenLamp</a> to improve health outcomes for women in rural Ethiopia. GreenLamp’s Solar Suitcase Initiative provides sustainable clean power to Hamlin’s Midwifery Clinics, where there is often no reliable power and light. </p> <p>The importance of these health professionals cannot be overemphasised. Every day, more than 830 women around the world die as a result of complications from pregnancy and childbirth. In Ethiopia, 401 mothers die for every 100,000 births. If midwives were present during birth, up to 90% of these deaths could be prevented, according to the International Confederation of Midwives. </p> <p>The increasing number of Hamlin Midwives in rural communities of Ethiopia is vital to ensure women no longer suffer for days on end in an obstructed labour. </p> <p>No woman should have to suffer the pain and indignity of an obstetric fistula injury – with access to Hamlin Midwives, they don’t have to. </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-large"></div> <div class="gb-grid-wrapper
