Birth in bomb shelters: Ukrainian midwives look to Canada for training

Olena Boiko recalls being in a state of shock when nurses began to wheel her on a gurney toward the basement bomb shelter while she was in labour to give birth to her first child.

“We were shocked, but we didn’t have a choice,” Boiko said in Ukrainian through a translator, while pushing her son, Yaroslav, now 10 months old, in his stroller through Lviv on Saturday. Midwives are regulated in Ukraine, but only in hospitals. They are not licensed to attend home births. “There were also women who were very anxious, did not want to go beyond their comfort zone, and were afraid to go to the clinic.”

That’s why Daviss has travelled back and forth between Canada and Ukraine several times since the war began to teach them. Daviss is also teaching them skills of a more political nature, like how to lobby their government to grant them more leeway and offer more professional recognition for their work.
