In rural Papua New Guinea, many women give birth without access to midwives or proper health facilities. This study created a culturally sensitive training framework to help midwives teach and support traditional birth attendants. The framework emphasizes trust, respect, and practical learning to improve care for mothers and newborns. By linking traditional birth attendants with midwives, the approach aims to make childbirth safer and strengthen connections between communities and the health system.
