Midwife Kit-Direct Relief: Direct Relief, in consultation with experts from the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), designed the first-ever Midwife Kit endorsed by ICM as a standard for midwives trained to ICM’s competency standards. ICM represents 400,000 midwives in 121 countries. Each Midwife Kit contains the 59 essential items a midwife needs to perform 50 facility-based deliveries. The Midwife Kits, valued at $1,250, or roughly $25 per safe birth, are provided free of charge to midwives in resource-constrained settings.
