Toni Kalushkova hopes to set up her own pregnancy school. She graduated my midwifery education in 1988 in the Medicine College of Varna. After that she worked as a midwife for 12 years, consulting and helping with pregnant women. After reform in the Bulgarian health care system in the year 2000, Toni lost her job. She and a colleague operated their own health care center for nine years. Toni tells us, “In our country the midwife cannot have self practice, but must be working with a doctor. Pictures from our breast feeding action can be seen on my website: www.happymumsbg.com” She would be happy to hear from others about working on such projects.
