Midwives

The role of a midwife is both unique and demanding. They not only prepare pregnant women for childbirth, they also provide assistance during labour and during first days and weeks after the birth of a new child.

Midwives work in both hospital and community settings and we will be profiling some of their experiences and success stories in this section of our website.
