Abstract

Indonesia is still struggling to battle high maternal and child mortality rates and contributes to the global burden of maternal and child mortality. My PhD in New Zealand, which offers an acclaimed and world-class midwifery education service, gives me a unique take on midwifery in Indonesia.
