Track: Healthcare and Midwifery

Healthcare and Midwifery
Healthcare and midwifery play a crucial role in supporting maternal and neonatal health, emphasizing a holistic approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Midwives are trained professionals who specialize in providing care to women during pregnancy, labor, and the early stages of motherhood. They focus on promoting natural childbirth, offering emotional and physical support, and ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby. In addition to managing routine prenatal check-ups and assisting in labor, midwives are equipped to identify complications and collaborate with other healthcare providers when necessary.
