62^nd World Nursing Conference

Midwifery, Neonatal Care and Pediatric Nursing

The assistance of midwives and neonatal nurses during pregnancy, birth and after birth is essential to prevent complications and deaths. They also ensure that the mother and the baby receive good care in these times. Each year, 358,000 women die during pregnancy or labor, and around 2 million newborn babies die shortly after birth, due to insufficient care. Possible solutions to expand midwifery and neonatal care in various countries shall be discussed in this session.
