The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) is excited to
announce that the 33rd ICM Triennial Congress will take place in
Bali from 11-14 June 2023. The event will bring together over 2,300
midwives, maternal health advocates, and healthcare professionals
from around the world to share knowledge and best practices and to
celebrate the crucial role of midwives in improving maternal and
newborn health.
According to a recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO),
one woman dies every two minutes from pregnancy or
childbirth-related complications globally. This alarming statistic
highlights the urgent need to invest in maternal healthcare and the
critical role of midwives in ensuring safe and healthy childbirth,
but also in providing essential reproductive health services.
"The 33rd Triennial Congress is a unique opportunity to bring
together midwives from all over the world to collaborate and share
evidence-based practices and experiences," said Dr. Franka Cadee,
President of the ICM. "We are delighted to be able to bring
everyone together again after the pandemic, and we hope to raise
awareness of the critical role of midwives in the reproductive
health of women, gender-diverse people, and families globally."
The Congress will feature plenary sessions, interactive workshops,
and poster presentations covering a wide range of topics related to
midwifery, including maternal and newborn health, family planning,
and midwifery education and regulation. Participants will have the
opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world and
share their knowledge and experiences. It will also provide a
platform for midwives to advocate for increased investment in the
profession and to advance midwife-led education and integration
into health systems worldwide.
"Together with all midwives in Indonesia, it is an honour to host
this sharing and learning session, especially with the charm of the
island of Bali, whose nature, culture, and beauty are nothing short
of inspirational," said Emi Nurjasmi, President of the Indonesian
Midwives Association and ICM Board Member representing Southeast
Asia. "With delegates, speakers, and exhibitors from around the
world, this Congress is designed not only to support the growth of
the midwifery profession, but also to encourage midwives and women
to come together, build relationships, grow ideas, and identify
pathways for advancement."
