International Midwives Day: “Together again: from evidence to reality”

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today is being recognized around the world as International Midwives Day.

The day is being celebrated under the theme, “Together again: from evidence to reality.”

Midwives play a critical role in improving health outcomes across the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that from maternal and newborn care to infection prevention and control, family planning, safe abortion and addressing gender-based violence as part of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights, midwives are leaders in promoting health and well-being and upholding human rights.

In addition, the WHO notes that investing more in midwives could avert over 80% of all the maternal deaths, stillbirths and neonatal deaths that occur today.

“Thank God for these two hands that welcome these little angels and for His continuous guidance throughout my years of practice. To my fellow Midwives, I salute you! It’s not aneasy job but it’s a fulfilling one! Let’s continue working together in bringing safe, effective and memorable health care to all our patients. Happy Midwives Day,” Midwife, Stephanie O’Brien said.

The day is observed in over 50 countries around the world to celebrate midwives for their commitment to saving lives and safeguarding the health of women and newborns.
