Resumen
This work focuses on the importance of conserving and revitalizing the intangible
heritage on the knowledge of the humanized birth of Afro-descendant midwives from
the Muisne cantón in the south of the Esmeraldas province, in Ecuador.
Through three testimonies, the way in which this knowledge has been transmitted
intergenerationally is recorded its own characteristics and the relationship of this ancestral
knowledge with the western health system, framed in the current intercultural health
proposal.
It is urgent to make visible the need to manage the aplication of necessary safeguards so
that the reproduction of life is valved, respected and humanized base on ancestral
knowledge.
