Antenatal and Postnatal Group Care during the First 1000 days
conference paper
Midwives have a critical role in providing and improving maternal and child health. At the same time they face increasing challenges connected to global workforce shortages and compromised autonomy; negatively impacting services for pregnant women, other gender diverse people, their families and their newborns. Poor quality of maternal and newborn health services (content and delivery) have been identified as a root factor in avoidable maternal and new-born mortality and morbidity and in preventing families from reaching their full health potential. Besides, the needs of pregnant women and newborns do not stop after birth. However, changing the way healthcare is provided requires not only a healthy and sustainable workforce but also vision of what might be possible as well as guidance through the implementation process.
