Imagine a world where every midwife has the tools to tackle global health justice and promote sustainable care practices. This episode takes you through the riveting highlights of the 16th Virtual International Day of the Midwife, featuring conversations with esteemed guests like Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent and Ibu Robin Lim. We delve into the future of midwifery, exploring powerful themes from natural disaster responses to the emotional intricacies of maternal health care.

Join us on an international trek across continents as we uncover the resilience and innovation powering today's midwives. From the successful VBACs in Indonesia to the fight against preeclampsia in Ghana, each story celebrates the spirit of midwifery. We traverse the emotional landscape of birth experiences, witnessing the crucial role midwives play in offering support for recurrent pregnancy loss and postpartum hemorrhage, all while navigating the challenges of workplace pressures and the global climate crisis.

Drawing the curtains on this episode, we spotlight the transforming face of maternal health. As we unveil the potential of integrated mental health care and reflect on birth during a pandemic, we pay homage to the adaptability of midwives in Lima and the traditional practices that have come full circle with modern childbirth. Our journey through these narratives reaffirms the unwavering commitment of midwives to advance health and wellbeing for mothers and newborns, and we invite you to share in these remarkable stories of courage, innovation, and advocacy for a more equitable future.
