CHIRAPAQ Centro de Culturas Indigenas de Peru (Peru) is the third partner of the Indigenous Maternal Health and Midwifery Program. They took leadership in developing ESKE (Emergency Skills Knowledge) workshop – a hands-on learning document to be presented at the International Conference of Midwifery in Toronto.
