ICM 2023 Theme: Newborn Health

Midwives play a crucial role in pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal care, and the preservation of newborn health. The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has chosen evidence-based practices as the theme for the year 2023, aiming to support and empower midwives in their profession. According to this theme, it is stated that the provision of safe and accurate midwifery care can prevent maternal deaths, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths. In this context, evidence-based midwifery practices are found to play a key role in newborn health.
