Track: 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.
The midwifery model prioritizes informed choice, empowering women to
participate actively in their care. As advocates for women’s health, midwives
also provide education on reproductive health, family planning, and
breastfeeding. With an emphasis on personalized care, midwifery contributes to
positive birth experiences and better health outcomes for mothers and infants,
fostering a supportive environment that respects cultural and individual needs.
