Midwives in South Africa are the front line caregivers and back bone in maternal and child health care. The pressure is on midwives to meet the challenges of providing quality care to both women and children. It is imperative for midwives to continuously improve their clinical skills whilst simultaneously continue to maintain, reinforce and maximize their focus on interpersonal care. We must all assume the commitment to be active players in all aspects of our profession in order to contribute to the development of midwifery. We need to deal with the challenges of transformation and change brought around by the dynamic needs of our society in the 21^st century. Only by improving our practice and meeting these challengers head on will we be able to become the leaders our profession requires of us.

 

The current President of the Society of Midwives of South Africa is Deliwe Nancy Nyathikazi and the Deputy President is Annelize de Villiers.

 

The midwives of South Africa have demonstrated their commitment in providing quality care by forming a society committed to meet the challenges head on.
