What was the Midwifery Clinic?
Our Midwifery House in San Miguel de Allende was a space that, for 30 years, promoted the sexual and reproductive rights of the population and provided various services related to comprehensive health care.
It primarily offered services based on the Midwifery Model, in which trained, certified, and licensed midwives accompanied, guided, and cared for women during vital stages of reproductive life, such as pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. In addition, together with a large multidisciplinary team, it was dedicated to providing information and services at affordable prices.
Every woman has the right to choose where and how to give birth, accompanied by whomever she prefers.
(always accompanied by the professional team).
In 1994, the CASA Maternity Clinic was inaugurated.
Where an interdisciplinary team of traditional midwives, professional midwives, obstetric nurses, physicians, and specialists work together to ensure that women receive the best treatment with dignity and respect. One of Casa's main goals was to provide formal and comprehensive education to traditional midwives in the San Miguel de Allende area.
In 1997, the first officially recognized school of professional midwives in Mexico was created.
During its operation, 17 generations of technical midwives graduated, bringing the total number of graduates from 12 states in Mexico and 3 countries to 120.
More than 11,000 babies have been born at CASA's Maternity Clinic.
With excellent results, with transfer rates lower than 4%, and mortality, maternal, perinatal, and low birth weight morbidity rates lower than 1%, demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of the midwifery care model.
