Midwifery Travel Experience: 2-Week Clinical Immersion in Papua, Indonesia


Dear Midwifery Wisdom Collective Community,

We're thrilled to announce our first international midwifery travel experience.

🌍 August 1–17, 2026 | Papua, Indonesia

Join Certified International Midwife Chetana Kulkarni for two weeks of clinical collaboration at Angel Hiromi Bhumi Sehat (AHBS) β€” Papua's only midwife-run birth center, serving indigenous families near the stunning Lake Sentani.
​


What You'll Do

  • Support prenatal care, labor, and birth alongside local midwives
  • Participate in parent education and skill-sharing sessions
  • Join mobile prenatal clinics via boat to nearby islands
  • Learn Papuan birth traditions and community-centered care
  • Explore local markets, lakes, and beaches between clinical work
    ​

This is clinical collaboration, not voluntourism β€” meaningful exchange that strengthens existing practices.


Who This Is For

Experienced midwives, new graduates, students, and birth workers seeking cultural immersion, professional growth, and purpose-driven adventure.


Investment: $2,499

Includes 2 weeks of clinical experience, shared accommodation at the birth center, and lunch/dinner daily. A portion of your fee directly supports AHBS.

Does not include flights, breakfast, or personal expenses.


⚠️ Only 5 Spots Available

Interested in extending your trip to Raja Ampat or Bali's Bumi Sehat Birth Centre? We can help with planning.


This is more than travel β€” it's service, learning, and transformation.

With warmth and gratitude,
​Chetana & The Midwifery Wisdom Collective Team

Midwifery Wisdom Response to Economist piece on breastfeeding

Dear Reader,The Economist published a piece this week on "Why women cannot make enough breast milk." It wore its citations well. It spoke with measured confidence.

The overwhelming majority of women are physiologically capable of feeding their babies. What fails them is not their mammary glands. It's the support, the education, the community, and the culture around them. This...
