The International Day of the Midwife (IDM) is celebrated on the 5th of May each year to highlight the important role midwives play in the health of mothers, children and their families. The theme for 2018 ‘Midwives leading the way with quality care’ highlighted the vital role that midwives play not only in ensuring women and their newborns navigate pregnancy and childbirth safely, but also receive respectful and well-resourced maternity care that can create a lifetime of good health and wellbeing beyond the childbirth continuum.
