midwifery associations

Midwifery associations are professional organizations that support and represent midwives—healthcare providers who assist women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. These associations set standards for practice, promote education and training, advocate for women's health issues, and ensure high-quality care. They also serve as a network for midwives to collaborate, share knowledge, and stay updated on best practices. Through their work, they aim to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes and uphold the professionalism and integrity of midwifery as a vital part of healthcare systems.
