Document to Complete

Due to the nature of MSF's maternity projects, it is essential to have more information about your specific technical competences in obstetrics.

It is a checklist, intended for midwives who may have responsibilities in obstetrics and reproductive health.

It must be completed according to your current level of practice.

The first part covers basic skills and key competences, while the second part includes emergency obstetric procedures.

This information will be useful for a better allocation of staff to the positions and to identify specific training needs.

The lack of skills will not prevent you from being assigned a mission, so please be honest in your self-assessment.
