“Well-trained midwives working in a fully functional environment could provide 90% of all essential sexual, reproductive, maternal&newborn health services, yet because they are underutilised & in short supply, they account for only 10% of those currently providing these services”
Celebrating the truly incredible unique body of work Holistic Reflection within Midwifery Education & Practice by @MidwiferyJBass presented on her behalf by @ProfLindaSweet at #ICM2023, we are so proud of all our colleagues representing Midwifery@Griffith
