Dear students!

     The virtual exhibition called «International Midwife Day» is available for you at the section of foreign literature (room 108).

    Midwifery is defined as skilled, competent, and loving care for pregnant females, newborn babies, and families throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the early weeks of the child’s life.

  International Day of the Midwife is celebrated each year on 5 May. This is a chance for midwives to celebrate their profession and for all of us to recognise their work and contribution to maternal and newborn health. We thank every midwife working across NSW Health for their ongoing commitment to high quality midwifery care and the dedication, skill and compassionate care they provide to women and their families.

     International Day of the Midwife was first celebrated May 5, 1992, and has since been observed in over 50 nations around the world.

     The concept for a day to commemorate and acknowledge midwives arose from a conference held by the International Confederation of Midwives in the Netherlands in 1987.

     The United Nations Population Fund (U.N.F.P.A.), the International Confederation of Midwives (I.C.M.), the World Health Organization (WHO), and Novametrics collaborated on the report, which demonstrates growth since the first edition in 2011 and outlines obstacles and challenges to future progress. According to the research, there is a global shortfall of about 1.1 million S.R.M.N.A.H. workers, with midwives accounting for over 900,000.

    The release of the State of the World’s Midwifery Report (SoWMy) coincided with the International Midwives’ Day celebrations on May 5, 2021. The report featured information from 194 nations on the workforce in the fields of Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Adolescent Health (S.R.M.N.A.H.).

     On International Midwives’ Day, we celebrate midwives’ exceptional contributions to humankind while also emphasizing the accumulating statistics and proof that midwifery is a crucial component of healthcare.
