Starting this Saturday, WAJAMAMA will offer the new Women’s Express Check-Up service at its clinic. At this fifteen-minute consultation, women are screened for breast and cervical cancer and will get their blood pressure checked. The check-up is paired with a free educational seminar, where women can learn from the WAJAMAMA doctors how to manage their health and well-being.

In its mission to improve women’s health, WAJAMAMA hosts a Nurse Midwifery Workforce Development class. Because insufficient pre-service education causes a cycle of substandard care to generate and re-generate, WAJAMAMA coaches recently graduated nurses and midwifes from local universities. The foundation does this by making use of a world-class simulation lab, and through the theoretical course covered in this blog post.
