Pamela Haskins, CNM
I was an OB-GYN RN for 21 years before becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife. I practiced as a CNM for 21 years seeing patients in the office and attending births in the hospital. I have done medical missions in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico and Tanzania. I went with Jambo Tanzania in 2016 and worked with Dr Banda at her clinic. Improving maternal health outcomes is a very important component to the health of a community. I look forward to helping Jambo Tanzania however I can. |
