New Zealand’s Midwife Crisis

New Zealand urgently needs more midwives.  According to District Health Board figures the system was down by 85 midwives in April of this year.  As it is estimated that each midwife helps approximately 50 mums-to-be every year, this shortfall of 85 active midwives translates into thousands of women’s needs not being met adequately.

If you have midwifery skills, why not look into migrating to New Zealand where you can be sure of being truly appreciated for your hard earned experience.  Midwifery is on the government’s Long Term Skills Shortage List which means you can score additional points when you apply for a visa.  Check out www.workingin-newzealand.com for details.
