Why The Lancet Series on Midwifery was needed
o Unacceptable levels of mortality, low quality care, inequalities
o Escalating use of unnecessary interventions
o Deaths, damage, disrespect and abuse continuing
o Focus on pathology, not support and prevention or longer-term health, well-being
o Focus on workforce and coverage of ‘skilled birth attendance’
o Focus on tasks, not on quality or women’s views
o Sources of evidence and information - separate, not integrated, some disputed
o Most high quality evidence from high income countries
o Midwifery inconsistently understood and implemented, strong barriers, diverse
workforce

Defining midwifery
‘Skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care for
childbearing women, newborn infants and families across the
continuum from pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, postpartum
and the early weeks of life…..’
Renfrew, McFadden, Bastos, Campbell et al The Lancet 384, I9948, 1129 – 1145, 2014

The scope of midwifery
Scope maps exactly to the ICM competencies of the midwife:
full scope midwifery = international standard midwife

‘Optimising normal reproductive processes of reproduction
and early life…..strengthening women’s capabilities….’
Analysis of the 86 evidence-based practices
needed by women and babies
in the scope of midwifery -
62% support optimizing normal reproductive processes

‘These findings support a system-level shift from
fragmented maternal and newborn care focused on
identification and treatment of pathology
to skilled care for all.
Midwifery is pivotal to this approach’

‘Midwifery was associated with more efficient use of resources and
improved outcomes
when provided by midwives who were educated, trained,
licensed, and regulated…..
There are few benefits from relying on
less-skilled healthcare workers.’
Midwives are essential
Renfrew, McFadden, Bastos, Campbell et al The Lancet 384, I9948, 1129 – 1145, 2014

‘care led by midwives – educated, licensed, regulated, integrated in
the health system and working on interdisciplinary teams – had a
positive effect on maternal and perinatal health across the many
stages of the framework, even when compared with care led by other health professionals together with midwives’
Midwives are essential
Renfrew, McFadden, Bastos, Campbell et al The Lancet 384, I9948, 1129 – 1145, 2014

What happens in systems without midwives? Case studies of Brazil China, India
'….care led mainly by
obstetricians
without the balance
midwives
bring to the health system might reduce
mortality and morbidity,
but might also reduce quality
and increase cost’
Brazil, China – prevalence of caesarean section
among highest in the world
India – high maternal mortality,
poor quality of care, inequalities ++
