Jhpiego is hiring for the position of an International Midwifery Educator in India for a BMGF funded project.

The overall aim is to prepare midwifery educators and midwives (Nurse Practitioner in Midwifery, NPM) at par with ICM standards that will support the implementation of the government-led program to establish midwifery services to global standards across the country.   In 2018, Government of India (GoI) took a landmark policy decision to support the introduction of a new cadre of midwives, the NPM, into the existing health system.
