Ana Maita, Advocate for maternal and child health from Bucharest, Romania.

My organisation

The SAMAS Association is dedicated to ensuring that parents-to-be and new-parents have easy access to competent perinatal education and support services delivered by medical professionals in a friendly, supportive manner intended to guide parents towards the best decisions for the care and nutrition of the mother and the baby. The organization also provides a complex training program for midwives and nurses who plan to start delivering perinatal education and support services as well as continous professional development opportunities. Once they finish the basic SAMAS training program, midwives and nurses become Certified SAMAS Perinatal Educators and may choose to join contractually the SAMAS Network which provides them with significant and continuous support in launching their SAMAS perinatal education practice to serve the community they live in. The SAMAS Network has national coverage in Romania and has reached over 20k parents with its perinatal programs.T

About me

My 15 year long experience in the field of women's rights advocacy includes a borad spectrum of issues: from human rights in childbirth and obstetrical abuse to underage pregnancy and protection policies for breastfeeding during the pandemic. I am proud to have contributed to national bills aimed at improving social protection of women during maternity, increasing essential vaccination rates and better protection against gender based violence. Recently I have been elected Co-president of Volt Romania, the paneuropean center-left party dedicated to strengthening European society through federalization.
