International Midwives Day

International Midwives Day shines a spotlight on the invaluable contributions of midwives around the world on the 5th of May each year. Unlike some observances, this significant day remains a steadfast fixture in the calendar, providing an annual opportunity to recognise and celebrate the essential role that midwives play in maternal and newborn healthcare.

Midwives are the unsung heroes of childbirth, providing compassionate care, expertise, and support to women and their families during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum. International Midwives Day honours their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to promoting safe and positive childbirth experiences.

To honour and support midwives on International Midwives Day, here are some content ideas for your social media and digital channels:

• Share heartfelt stories and testimonials from mothers, families, and communities who have been positively impacted by the care of midwives.
• Highlight the vital role of midwives in ensuring safe childbirth practices, reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, and promoting maternal and newborn health.
• Organise virtual panel discussions, webinars, or Q&A sessions featuring midwives, healthcare professionals, and advocates to raise awareness about midwifery care and its importance.
• Collaborate with midwifery organisations, healthcare institutions, and community groups to advocate for increased support, resources, and recognition for midwives.
• Share educational resources, tools, and tips for expectant mothers and families on pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care, with a focus on the role of midwives in providing holistic care.
• Encourage followers to express their gratitude and appreciation for midwives by sharing messages of thanks, artwork, or personal stories using dedicated hashtags, fostering a sense of solidarity and support within the midwifery community.
