For Tetum- and English-speaking migrant women / birthing people

Oxford University Hospitals offers free, tailored antenatal classes for English-speaking migrants or Tetum-speakers who are having their first or second baby in the UK.

These classes have been developed as part of the Equal Start Oxford Programme, a community project working to improve access and experience of care and health outcomes for mothers and babies in the OX4 area.

Midwives from Oxford University Hospitals teach the classes, with Maternity Advocates interpreting content into Tetum.
