Nurse-Midwife
A Nurse-Midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in providing care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are trained as both nurses and midwives, allowing them to offer a range of services, including prenatal check-ups, labor support, and postnatal care. Nurse-midwives focus on promoting natural childbirth and often work in hospitals, birthing centers, or home settings.
In addition to maternity care, nurse-midwives can provide gynecological services, family planning, and health education. They emphasize a holistic approach, considering the physical, emotional, and social aspects of a woman's health. Nurse-midwives collaborate with obstetricians and other healthcare providers when complications arise.
