WHO's latest paper urges the expansion of #midwifery care to save millions of lives by 2035. Let’s create an enabling environment for #midwives with better pay, education & support. Empower midwives to transform maternal and newborn care. #MaternalHealth

[Faridah Luyiga @fluyiga]

Well-deserved recognition to @ashumartha3 & many #midwives around the world who work tirelessly to save&enhance lives, many times making a difference even in under-resourced settings. Let’s all imagine a world where midwives work in an enabling environment. @world_midwives #UNGA

Ashu’s (@ashumartha3) unwavering commitment to saving the lives of mothers and babies did not go unnoticed. #Goalkeepers2030

Midwives need to be part of decisions that affect them and the people they care for. #MidwivesMatter #NothingAboutMidwivesWithoutMidwives #UNGA #UNGA23 @GlobalGoalsUN @gatesfoundation

[International Confederation of Midwives @world_midwives]

We agree!
Midwives must have a seat at every decision-making table that affects maternal, newborn, sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing.

Congratulations @NangaloEva!

Women should not die because of where they live and who they are. At #ICM2023 Congress, we heard new insights on the first use of heat stable cabetocin, a uterotonic for the prevention of #PPH in #LMICs #MidwivesinBali #ICM2023 @world_midwives

[Ferring Pharmaceuticals @ferring]

New data shows that progress on reducing maternal deaths has stalled since 2015. This must change. At Ferring we believe no woman should die while giving birth. We attended #ICM2023 to discuss how we can empower midwives to support #SafeBirth across the world.

[International Confederation of Midwives @world_midwives]

Having students practice their midwifery skills is key for learning. Today we launched the ICM Competencies Digital Learning Tool co-developed by @LaerdalGH and ICM rolling out this August.

@world_midwives So glad to have worked alongside midwives almost since the inception of #IDM in 1987. I became assistant editor of the ‘Midwives Chronicle’ @MidwivesRCM journal in 1988 & subsequently worked for @world_midwives , @IolantheMidwife & @NCTcharity - good times! Happy #IDM2023 to all!
