The Midwifery Model of Care
Our Philosophy of Care
The Midwifery Model of Care is predicated on the following tenets: Pregnancy and childbirth are usually normal physiological processes. Midwives promote and advocate for non-intervention in normal childbirth. Midwifery care takes place in partnership with women, recognizing the right to self-determination, and is respectful, personalized, continuous and non authoritarian. Midwives practice in collaboration and consultation with other health professionals to serve the needs of the woman, her newborn, family and community. Midwives are the most appropriate care provider to attend childbearing women.
