Abstract

Scaling up midwifery to reduce maternal and neonatal deaths has been identified as a global priority.1 Yet, the latest State of the World’s Midwifery report outlines how
midwifery work remains undervalued.2 Conventionally, professions are granted autonomy and social recognition for the services they provide but midwifery often lacks such status, potentially impeding midwives’ success.
