Midwifery
Posted in Care of Children, Empowerment of Women, Health, Podcast on 10/08/2008 07:50 pm by adminDr Kokayi explores the field of midwifery and how its being impacted by the medical establishment. The legacy of black midwives is discussed with his three guest midwives along with the fact that the field is changing, becoming more academic and less hands on. Dr Kokayi points out that the US has a higher infant mortality rate than Cuba and how the nature of a holistic intake and care helps to lower this. Along with their discussion is the reference to the Black midwifery conference “Reclaiming the Wise Woman Withinâ€, occurring a few days after this radio appearance.
