“A midwife is a person who has successfully completed a
midwifery education programme that is based on the ICM
Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice and
the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery
Education and is recognized in the country where it is
located; who has acquired the requisite qualifications
to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice
midwifery and use the title ‘midwife’; and who demonstrates
competency in the practice of midwifery. The midwife is
recognised as a responsible and accountable professional
who works in partnership with women to give the necessary
support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife’s own
responsibility and to provide care for the newborn and the infant.
This care includes preventative measures, the promotion of normal
birth, the detection of complications in mother and child,
the accessing of medical care or other appropriate assistance
and the carrying out of emergency measures.”
