College of Midwives expansion update

Phase 1 of the Hamlin College of Midwives’ expansion will be completed this year, with new teaching facilities for 250 students, accommodation for 172 residential students and a new library and cafe.

Other new facilities include a lecture hall and laboratory. Hamlin Midwives are pivotal to the success of Project Zero and the eradication of fistula so these new spaces are urgently needed to cater for the increasing numbers of BSc and MSc midwifery students attending the College.

Konjit Kassahun, Dean of the Hamlin College of Midwives and Prevention Manager, is working hard to expand Hamlin’s Prevention program and ensure Hamlin Midwives have the support they need to undertake their important work.
