Respectful Maternal Care Program for Healthcare Personnel

 

Our Respectful Maternal Care program works with health practitioners to ensure they provide women the best quality and standard of care possible, and respect their rights during their pregnancy, birth and delivery services. This includes care that is free of violence and discrimination. The program consists of a series of workshops with medical practitioners; observations of medical practices at clinics and hospitals; surveys of service users; the creation of individual and collective improvement plans, meetings with healthcare management and follow up observations. Over the past five years we have been working in the Los Altos, Palenque and Ocosingo regions of Chiapas, and in Yucatán.
