Royal College of Midwives Annual Conference

The ICM President Franka Cadée attended the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) annual conference on 25 September in the UK.

“The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) held a well-attended and inspirational conference. The conference highlighted RCM’s success in advocating for women’s rights to evidence-based care in the UK and beyond her borders.” 

“The UK now has a Chief Midwife in Scotland and England and hope the other two countries will follow suit soon.”

“The ICM recommends that all governments follow the UK’s lead and employ a Chief Midwife who can be a key and essential advisor for governmental officials and ministers on health investments.” 

“The evidence is clear. Access to the continuity of carer by a midwife educated to international standards ensures that women receive the right care at the right time.” – Franka Cadée
