Dear midwifery colleagues
I have been working with colleagues in the World Health Organisation and the Papua New Guinea National Department of Health for a major part of the past year. It is with great anticipation that I forward you a job recruitment advertisement that represents an outstanding opportunity to use your skills and expertise in a culturally challenging setting. As one part of a major co-ordinated national emergency response to high rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity in PNG, you will be part of a team of eight midwives and two obstetricians who will each work in one of four settings across the country with a focus on improving midwifery education and practice. An attractive package of terms and conditions has been developed including accommodation, security, regular home leave and financial remuneration. There will be good support with regular linking up for all involved in the project via the internet as well as face to face meetings. We are casting the net quite widely to include midwives who can communicate, facilitate others' learning and work in respectful culturally appropriate, supportive ways. Maybe this is you?
Full details are available on the JTA website - www.jtai.com.au     Go to International Development Section
Please forward this on to any registered midwives whom you think may be suitable and interested.
