The Framework for Action to Strengthen Midwifery Education is a guide to develop high-quality, sustainable pre- and in-service midwifery education to save the lives of mothers and newborns. Launched the 72nd World Health Assembly in May 2019, it has been developed by WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF and ICM and includes a seven-step action plan for use by all stakeholders in maternal and newborn health.
This report combines the evidence with the findings from a series of global multi-stakeholder consultations, and a final online survey. The consultations addressed five key questions including: what are the three strategic priorities; what is new, radical thinking; what will the impact be at country level; how will this be achieved, and how is this relevant to humanitarian emergencies?
