SafeMa Hubs will be established in the participating Asian Universities to be used for knowledge development, sharing and transfer concerning midwifery. The hubs will serve as model teaching, research, pedagogic and career guidance resource centers and will contribute to overcoming challenges faced by midwifes, such as poor pay, low status and a lack of support and the gender biases that feed these challenges. The SafeMa Hubs will also act as a ‘policy entrepreneur’, spreading ideas and skills, through the interaction with the academia, international organizations, policy-makers and society.
