Midwifery and Midwives
Midwifery is a healthcare profession which developed from ancient times. It can, in fact, be said to have developed from the first time man became civilized enough to know the delicate nature of the organs and process of reproduction in the woman. That was when, consequently, the practice of traditional birth attendant developed, even if in its crudest form and process.
Over the ages, it grew as one of the most essential professions in the broad gamut of healthcare delivery, with its practitioners becoming specialists in the reproductive health of women in the safest obtainable clinical process. Both male and female practitioners of midwifery are known as midwives.
