Midwifery and Maternal health

About Conference

We are delighted to announce the 6th International Congress on Midwifery and Maternal Health (Midwifery 2026), scheduled for March 23–24, 2026, in Paris, France. This premier event will bring together experts, practitioners, educators, and advocates in the fields of midwifery, maternal care, and women's health. With the theme "Empowering Women's Health through Midwifery and Innovation," the congress aims to highlight the evolving role of midwifery and its impact on improving maternal and newborn outcomes globally.

Midwifery is a dedicated healthcare discipline focused on pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum support, and comprehensive women’s reproductive health. While distinct from nursing, midwifery integrates clinical expertise, education, and compassionate care. The conference will cover key topics such as antenatal care, perinatal safety, women’s reproductive rights, and innovations in maternal healthcare systems, offering a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange and professional growth.

We warmly welcome a diverse audience including midwives, gynecologists, obstetricians, nurse practitioners, maternal health researchers, educators, policy makers, and healthcare administrators. Join us in Paris to engage with thought leaders, attend enriching sessions and workshops, and build global partnerships dedicated to advancing the future of midwifery and maternal health.
