International Midwives Day

International Midwives Day

International Midwives' Day was first celebrated May 5 1991, and has since been observed in over 50 nations around the world.

The idea of having a day to recognize and honor midwives came out of the 1987 International Confederation of Midwives conference in the Netherlands.
