We have integrated the safe customary model of midwifery (that bases its care and service on emotional support, experience, individualised care and guidance by the elderly women in the community), with the contemporary model of midwifery that is based on relevant modern methods and techniques, that help with early identification of high risk pregnancies in a timely manner.
This aids in reducing complications during pregnancy, labour and delivery, resulting in the reduction of maternal and infant mortality. Gankuku pays an ode to the traditional science which birthed midwifery or laid the foundation of midwifery as we know it today.
