Midwifery is more than a profession-it is a lifelong commitment to safeguarding the health, dignity, and well-being of women, newborns, and families. Rooted in evidence-based practice and compassionate care, midwifery plays a vital role in ensuring safe motherhood and positive birth experiences.
This comprehensive textbook has been developed for Midwifery Educators, Nurse Practitioners in Midwifery (NPMs), GNM, B.Sc. Nursing, and M.Sc. Nursing students, as well as maternal and newborn healthcare professionals. It provides a complete guide to the continuum of maternal and newborn care, covering antenatal assessment, labour and childbirth, postnatal care, newborn care, obstetric emergencies, reproductive and women's health, and essential clinical procedures.
Aligned with the latest national and international guidelines, the book integrates evidence-based knowledge with practical clinical application through high-quality illustrations, tables, flowcharts, algorithms, and case-based discussions. Emphasizing competency-based education, respectful maternity care, patient safety, and clinical decision-making, it bridges the gap between theory and practice.
Designed to support both academic learning and professional excellence, this book serves as a trusted resource for developing the knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills required to provide safe, compassionate, and woman-centred maternity care.
