Federation Partners Team Up to Help Pregnant Women Safely Deliver During War

As conflict continues to escalate in the north of Israel, Federation partners Magen David Adom and the Israel Midwives Organization have created a new initiative to prepare healthcare professionals to deliver babies, in case pregnant women are unable to reach a hospital in time due to rocket fire. Supported by the Israel Emergency Fund, for which Federation raised nearly $30 million, First Contractions are mapping all northern communities where there are pregnant women, to connect them with midwives who have recently received the critical tools and training for safe out-of-hospital deliveries. The program will also encourage pregnant women to get to know their local midwives, alleviating some of their anxiety about giving birth under exceptional circumstances. Efforts are currently focused on women from the Western and Northern Galilee and Golan Heights and are expected to expand throughout the country.
