Wednesday marks the International Midwives Day
We were also joined on the line by Professor Nomafrench Mbombo – Spokesperson for the Midwives Society of Western Cape. On Wednesday is an International Midwives Day. It is an occasion to celebrate and promote the profession of midwifery. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises 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. For more information contact her offices on (021) 959 2271 or 072 265 6084.
