100 years of working towards a world where every childbearing woman has access to a midwife’s care for herself and her newborn!

As the Inaugural Global Goodwill Ambassador of the International Confederation of Midwives for two terms (2014-2020) I am thrilled to celebrate with #ICM as they mark their 100-year anniversary alongside the 77th United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

My Global Office Delegation attended the Centennial Commemoration and were elated to discuss and highlight the key achievements of #midwifery this past century, connect with incredible health partners and aid in developing the vision for the next 100 years.

Addressing the unmet needs of women and their families must remain a constant priority, and my Wellbeing Foundation Africa Foundation will continue to empower our #frontline #midwives so they may efficiently #access, #educate, #counsel and #care for #mothers as trusted community health workers.
