Midwifery in Pediatrics

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that plays a prominent role in midwifery practice. It involves competent nurses/midwives to administer primary health care management to women and their infants, children and adolescents. Drawing on the framework of midwifery and adolescent development, it provides direct care to women and children and stimulates healthy habits that reduce the risk of discomfort and illness. Midwives are the main carers of pregnant women; they can also be called obstetricians. Pediatric nurses often assist doctors by providing medical care and information about illnesses and treatment plans to their young patients.
