International Midwives Day 2024
When: 5th of May
Theme: Midwives: a vital climate solution
On Sunday 5 May midwives across the world will be celebrating International Day of the Midwife 2024. This year’s’ theme is at the core of COP28 and strategies to improve the health and status of women. Midwives, as care providers and defenders of women’s sexual and reproductive health are key players in designing resilient health systems capable of withstanding the worst impacts of climate change, delivering environmentally sustainable health services, and empowering women to make decisions that benefit themselves, their families and the planet. Midwives are climate activists. We hope that midwives, maternity support workers and student midwives across the globe celebrate in unison.
