Maison de Naissance (MN, "Home of Birth") is sponsored by the Global Birthing Home Foundation.
Our vision: Communities where maternal and neonatal mortality rates are low and every mother and infant have the right to a healthy birth.
Our Guiding Principles:
High-quality maternal and infant healthcare, including full prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care, provided with compassion and dignity, that is available 24x7, accessible, culturally appropriate, and free of charge, with personal relationships to every expectant mother in our zone of service.
Indigenous management, including local staffing, with programs for technical skills enhancement, professional training, and education.
Innovative and efficient use of technology, including electronic medical records, telemedicine through IM and internet transmission, and specially designed assessment tools.
Community engagement, including population surveys, community health education, house calls, collaboration with community and government bodies, and partnerships with other mission related agencies.
