Midwives Alliance of North America

The Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) is a professional organization that supports and represents certified professional midwives, primarily those providing out-of-hospital birth services. It aims to promote safe, personalized maternity care through education, advocacy, and the development of standards and best practices. MANA works to increase acceptance and recognition of midwifery as a vital component of reproductive health care, ensuring that women have access to natural and respectful birth options outside traditional hospital settings when appropriate. It also fosters collaboration among midwives and other healthcare providers to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
