Midwifery education in low income countries on the rise
Midwives have long been recognised as vital to reducing maternal and infant death rates across the world, but who is helping midwives to be midwives?
The State of the World’s Midwifery Report in 2011 and 2014 has recognised three key pillars needed to establish and support the global midwifery workforce. These pillars are education, regulation and association.
New research has looked at whether access to these pillars has changed since the 2011 report, and the results are mostly positive.
