In an effort to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, a rural health system in Papua New Guinea implemented a two-week midwifery training program for 47 nurses and community health workers. We evaluated this program by administering pre- and post-training knowledge tests, focus group discussions, a clinical vignette task, and key informant interviews. Participants improved significantly in their midwifery knowledge and demonstrated effective care in the clinical vignettes. Participants described the training as novel and beneficial. Program leaders were motivated to scale up the program and assess community-level impact. This program has strong potential to improve local obstetric care capacity
