On the fifth of May each year, the world celebrates International Day of the Midwife in recognition of their role in supporting maternal and child health, promoting awareness of the importance of comprehensive obstetric and healthcare services, and directly contributing to reducing maternal and newborn mortality rates in crises.

in the Kurdish Red Crescent, we strive to improve working environments, provide continuous training for midwives, and invest in enhancing their skills to ensure the best possible care for mothers and their children. We also highlight the challenges faced by midwives and provide the necessary resources to improve health outcomes. In turn, we thank all midwives around the world for their efforts and their humanitarian and vital role related to sexual and reproductive health
