International Midwives' Day
International Midwives' Day / Saving lives with quality care
Today we celebrate International Day of the Midwife, this year on the theme “Midwives Leading the Way with Quality Care.” It resonates with the remarkable efforts and progress that Bangladesh has made in rolling out and accelerating the midwifery profession, thereby making a critical contribution to the health of women and newborns. In fact, in the past two decades, the maternal mortality rate has been reduced by more than 50 percent in Bangladesh.
