background

Based on the following concepts and assumptions:

The person:

A person has social, cultural, religious, psychological and physical needs that should be respected. A person has impact on, and is affected by, the socio-cultural, religious, psychological and physical environment. A person has rights of self-determination regarding what happens to them in health, disability and illness, this being regardless of gender.

The midwifery:

Midwifery embodies a unique range of knowledge that is dynamic and progressive, adapting to changing demands, contexts and public views in order to maintain a high quality of care. Midwifery must take in to account of the rights of individuals including to have their socio-cultural environment and religious beliefs respected.

Midwifery is influenced by many factors such as technological advances, changing lifestyles, special needs, changing disease and demographic patterns, changing roles of health care workers, ethical, legal and policy issues, economic and resource constraints in the healthcare sector and wider environment

The midwifery  profession is committed to the need for change in     midwifery  education and practice, and that individual midwives  become more involved in the change process, especially in areas of problem-solving, clinical reasoning, professional ethics, documentation, setting priorities and predicting outcomes which are fundamental to midwifery  practice. Midwifery need skills in providing primary, secondary and tertiary care, promotion of health and the treatment of illness.
