Diploma in Midwifery

The curriculum aims to prepare midwives to practice autonomously across the scope of midwifery practice. These midwives will have expertise in normal pregnancy, birth and postnatal and will recognize when things deviate from the normal. They will appropriately advocate, consult with and refer to obstetricians or other medical doctors. Additionally, these midwives will be competent in a number of skills that are not in the midwifery scope of practice in which a midwife, either through delegated responsibility or an emergency situation, needs to be competent. These midwives will provide highly skilled midwifery care to women and newborns, and will further enable the attainment of Millennium Goals 4 and 5 for women and their children in Bangladesh.
