National Midwifery Week 2024
Happy National #MidwiferyWeek2024 🥳 This week, we celebrate and recognize midwives and midwife-led care. It's time to display your pride in the hallmarks of midwifery that you deliver every day; this week is for you and about you.
Rigorous scientific evidence demonstrates that care provided by midwives improves birth outcomes and patient experiences. The evidence also supports the importance of the integration and expansion of midwifery to the improvement of health outcomes across states and nations. The profession of midwifery is rooted in the past but essential to the future. Scaling up midwifery could help reduce adverse health outcomes, even in resource-constrained environments such as rural communities and could be implemented with successful outcomes at any stage of a country’s transition to lower maternal and newborn mortality rates. Midwifery care can be cost-effective, affordable, and sustainable.
Each day of National Midwifery Week will feature opportunities for education and connection, and ACNM Members can attend events this week for FREE and receive CEs, excluding only the Leading a Midwifery Practice workshop and Midwives-PAC Annual Rally: https://www.midwife.org/National-Midw...
