The International Midwives Day...
is an occasion to celebrate and promote the profession of midwifery. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes midwives as the health professionals best able to deliver safe, cost effective maternity services to the majority of families.
A midwife is educated to give all necessary care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the newborn period and believe that childbirth is a normal and significant life event for women and their families.
IMD is an occasion for every individual midwife to think about the many others in the profession, to make new contacts within and outside midwifery and widen the knowledge of what midwives do for the world.
The Gainesville Midwives are asking the greater community to help us in our efforts to reach out internationally to midwives and families.
