A midwife is a person who has completed a midwifery education programme that is based on The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) Essential Competencies for Midwifery Practice and the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education and is recognized in the country where it is located. Also, a midwife has to acquire the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practise midwifery and use the title Midwife; and demonstrate competency in the practice of midwifery.
Midwifery encompasses the care of women during pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period, as well as care of the newborn. It includes measures aimed at preventing health problems in pregnancy, the detection of abnormal conditions, the procurement of medical assistance when necessary, and the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical help.
Midwifery has a unique body of knowledge, skills and professional attitudes drawn from disciplines shared by other health professions such as science and sociology but practised by midwives within a professional framework of autonomy, partnership, ethics, and accountability.
