Midwives play a critical role in ensuring that women have access to high-quality reproductive and
maternal healthcare services and education. They are responsible for providing a wide range of
services, including prenatal and postpartum care, labor and delivery support, family planning, and
breastfeeding support. Their work helps to ensure that mothers and babies receive the care they
need to be healthy and thrive. One of the primary roles of midwives in FHSIS is to provide
comprehensive prenatal care to pregnant women. This involves monitoring the health of the mother
and baby throughout the pregnancy, providing education on nutrition and healthy habits, and
screening for potential complications. Midwives work closely with obstetricians and other healthcare
professionals to ensure those women and their babies receive the appropriate medical care.

During labor and delivery, midwives provide essential support to women and their families.
They assist with pain management and positioning, monitor fetal heart rates, and provide
emotional support to women as they give birth. Midwives also facilitate communication
between the woman and the obstetrician if there are complications.
After the birth, midwives continue to provide care and support to both the mother and baby.
They help with breastfeeding, monitor the health of the mother as she recovers from childbirth,
and perform routine newborn tests and screenings. Midwives also provide education and
support to the mother as she navigates the challenges of parenting a newborn.
Family planning is another critical aspect of a midwife's role in FHSIS. Midwives provide
education and counseling on a variety of contraceptive methods and help women choose the
method that is best for them. Midwives also provide follow-up care to ensure that women are
using their chosen method effectively and can adjust as needed.
