This presentation explores the pivotal role midwives play in transforming healthcare delivery in rural communities, where access to care can often be limited. By highlighting the unique skills and expertise of midwives, the session will showcase how they can address gaps in maternal and reproductive health services, improve patient outcomes, and enhance overall community wellness. Drawing on evidence-based practices and real-world examples, the presentation will discuss innovative strategies to integrate midwifery care into rural healthcare systems, including education, mentorship, and collaborative models of care. The session aims to inspire healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community leaders to recognize and unlock the full potential of midwives in advancing rural health access and equity.
