CAM believes that midwives play a unique and fundamental role in promoting sexual health and reproductive rights, and in the provision of quality reproductive, maternal, and newborn health care – both in Canada, and internationally.
We support sustainable development goals and feminist international assistance policy by investing in a world where every adolescent, adult and newborn will have access to that care – care that can save lives.
Mission
CAM works with partners in low and middle-income countries to strengthen the profession of midwifery, in order to empower women and girls and improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. We accomplish our work using a feminist, human-rights, evidence- and results-based approach.
