Towards Stronger Midwifery Standards for Universal Health Care 🩺 unf.pa/4uk6ZWP

The workshop marked an important milestone in strengthening the midwifery profession in the Philippines through the validation and national endorsement of a unified professional framework aligning education, regulation, and clinical practice.

UNFPA remains committed to support the Gov’t of the Philippines and partners in strengthening the midwifery workforce, recognizing that investing in midwives is critical to ending preventable maternal deaths and ensuring that every pregnancy is wanted and every childbirth is safe
