The initiative focuses on strengthening health services and improving the quality of care at the community level. By leveraging its expertise and taking into account the rural area\u2019s challenges, the project aims to increase access to essential medical services while raising standards of care in the targeted intervention areas. Since 2020, Louise Bourgeois has been involved with Sant\u00e9 Sud as a midwife.

A typical day for me started with heading to the Health Centre in the morning. First, I assisted in the shift changeover with the midwives, helping them implement the tools and procedures we developed together, including those with the head midwife. The day&#8217;s activities then varied based on the Centre&#8217;s needs, as midwifery requires quick response and adaptability. On busier days, I was heavily involved in delivering babies. On quieter days, I could conduct training workshops or assist with prenatal consultations. In the late morning or early afternoon, I returned to the office for follow-up meetings with technical specialists or the entire team to discuss new tools and strategies, or to meet with Aminata, the regional care organisation and quality manager midwife who worked alongside me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What challenges do maternity services and midwives face in Mauritania, and what did you aim to address in your mission?<\/h3>\n<p><em>A key challenge in Mauritania is empowering midwives, many of whom have lost interest due to tough working conditions. These challenges are not just physical but also organisational, lacking team support and clear guidance, leaving them to figure out their roles on their own.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Another issue is the need for improved practical skills and training, especially during internships, as supervisors themselves lack training. This results in trainees not being adequately prepared, leading to future professionals with gaps in their skills.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore, my mission focused primarily on midwives. My approach emphasised that a midwife&#8217;s role goes beyond just receiving a baby; it involves comprehensive care for both mother and baby, and ensuring the right conditions, such as a clean delivery table, are in place for a compassionate birthing experience.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What tangible results have you seen, and what are the ongoing challenges for maintaining these outcomes?<\/h3>\n<p><em>Today, on my last day, I&#8217;ve seen noticeable improvements in the maternity unit&#8217;s hygiene. Initially, the conditions made it difficult for me to work alongside the midwives. We implemented significant cleaning of the delivery room and tools and trained various staff, including ward attendants on their tasks, midwives on maintaining cleanliness, and the head midwife on overseeing this maintenance, using a checklist. We&#8217;ve made strides in hygiene, infection prevention, and care organisation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In terms of supportive care, we&#8217;ve put a lot of effort into better estimating pregnancy terms. However, the real challenge lies in the repetition and persistence needed to change long-standing habits. For all the improvements we&#8217;ve made, habit change is a gradual process. Maintaining the momentum and the supervisory dynamics, especially with the head midwife&#8217;s involvement, is crucial. It&#8217;s about ensuring continuity after my departure, as I often say, &#8216;when the cat&#8217;s away, the mice will play.&#8217; I&#8217;ve been the cat for five weeks, but now someone else needs to take that role.<\/em><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"field_pow7f71e1c68679412c\" class=\"container-fluid px-0 flexible_section block_categorygrid\">\n <div id=\"field_pow7f71e1c68679412c_inner\" class=\"container flexible_section_inner\">\n\n  <div class=\"row flexible_section_title_container\"><div class=\"col-12 flexible_section_title_col\"><h2 class=\"flexible_section_title mb-5 text-left  \">A lire \u00e9galement<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"container-fluid px-0\" id=\"grid_pow7f71e1c68679412c_outer\">\n<div class=\"container px-0\">\n  <div class=\"row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-3 row-cols-lg-3 flexible_section_content\" id=\"grid_pow7f71e1c68679412c\">\n   <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-4 col-lg-4  item mb-3 elem-1\">\n<div class=\"item_content item_actus linkable h-100 item_rouge\" data-dest=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/en\/actualites-en\/erasmus-projects-supporting-social-inclusion-and-ecological-transition-three-groupe-sos-organisations-awarded\/\">\r\n<div class=\"item_content_thumb\">   <div class=\"grid_post_thumbnail mb-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"union europ\u00e9enne - lgbt\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n<div class=\"item_actus_content_outer\">\r\n<p class=\"mt-1 small px-1\">13 October 2025<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"blue my-3 px-1\">Erasmus+ projects supporting social inclusion and ecological transition: three Groupe SOS organisations awarded\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"item_actus_content px-1\">Groupe SOS is strengthening its European engagement by winning three Erasmus+ projects as coordinator, through its organisations Solidarit\u00e9 \u00c9nerg\u00e9tique France&hellip;<\/div>\r\n<p class=\"item_more mt-3 p-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/en\/actualites-en\/erasmus-projects-supporting-social-inclusion-and-ecological-transition-three-groupe-sos-organisations-awarded\/\" class=\"readmorebutton\">Lire la suite<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-4 col-lg-4  item mb-3 elem-2\">\n<div class=\"item_content item_actus linkable h-100 item_jaune\" data-dest=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/en\/actualites-en\/lets-not-be-afraid\/\">\r\n<div class=\"item_content_thumb\">   <div class=\"grid_post_thumbnail mb-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-1024x599.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-1536x899.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Europe-1-2048x1198.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n<div class=\"item_actus_content_outer\">\r\n<p class=\"mt-1 small px-1\">29 August 2025<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"blue my-3 px-1\">Let\u2019s Not Be Afraid!<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"item_actus_content px-1\">The Call from Over 150 Business Leaders to Rebuild European Sovereignty.
