Welcome Letter
Thank you for your interest in working with Global Midwife Response. Global Midwife Response, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that responds to global communities in crisis and disaster situations with skilled, compassionate midwifery care. We partner with organizations and communities to help them identify and connect with support, resources, and education.
We prepare midwives from all backgrounds, including Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNM), Certified Professional Midwives (CPM), and Registered Midwives (RM), helping develop their skills to serve women and families in low-resource and disaster areas. We also prepare midwives to educate and support local health workers, whether traditional midwives, first responders, or others, to expand their skill sets in women’s health and foster sustainable communities.
The requirements for participation in our active Registry of Midwives include:
