Headline Philippines: "Magic to modern method" by Dale Whitney, 1965

Description Magic to modern methods - Education of untrained midwives in modern methods of delivery, sanitation and hygiene were the object of a programme in the Philippines. Aided by WHO and UNICEF, the Philippine government launched the programme in July 1954. In ten years, some 6000 woman, about one-third of the country's hilots as the local midwives are called in Tagalog, attended 12-week courses in delivery, prenatal and postnatal care. New they were used to sending for medical assistance in the event of abnormal deliveries. They continued to work closely with local health clinics and greatly helped in the house-to-house improvement of hygiene and sanitation. Our photos show the conversion of a hilot, 58-year-old Escolastica Paeste from the village of Tamag, near Vigan on the northeast coast of Luzon.

Hilot Paeste, now trained and modernized, attends to postnatal chores with sterile supplies. Because the child was not full term, she sent for a physician which she would not have done before. She now wears a white apron and does not smoke a cigar near the baby.
