A trained obstetrics nurse, Shukri Jumale plays an integral role in the Midwest Fetal Care Center’s (a collaboration between Allina Health and Children's Minnesota) fetal equity project, which aims to ensure access to the center’s care services for fetuses with complex medical conditions. In 2023, she helped conduct focus groups to learn why few Somali-American women were seeking care from MWFCC. She uncovered crucial information: Many women believed their religion forbade medical intervention for fetuses. After engaging Islamic scholars, she learned that Islamic parents can accept medical intervention if the fetus has an abnormality. Jumale is now helping share this information locally and nationally. As treasurer of the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition, she helped oversee a first-of-its-kind fatwa (a legal ruling on a point of Islamic law) supporting use of donor breast milk for babies, which Islamic women had been hesitant to use.
