Midwifery

Midwifery is the practice of health care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Midwives provide evidence-based care and support to women throughout their pregnancy journey, aiming to achieve positive pregnancy outcomes for mothers and children. Midwives are skilled professionals, trained to recognize and respond to women's individual needs, and to provide holistic and personalized care. Midwifery is an ancient profession with an increasingly vital role in modern health care, providing valuable support to women throughout the perinatal period. Long recognized for its potential to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, midwifery is becoming increasingly important in promoting good maternal and child health, as well as improving the quality of health services. Midwifery services are essential in ensuring the well-being of pregnant women and their families, and their impact on public health cannot be underestimated.
