Midwives fulfil caring and nursing tasks during pregnancies, in the postpartum period and in case of gynaecological problems. Their responsibilities include monitoring pregnancies, labours and the postpartum progress while cooperating with other healthcare professionals in order to achieve the best possible outcome for each family. From the start of the parturition, midwives prepare and continuously support and encourage the woman during labour, monitor the process of deliveries and the mother-infant connection, assess and register their observations. Midwives individually assist deliveries, take care of the protection of the perineum and of the treatment of the woman and the newborn baby during the postpartum period. Graduate midwives look after, nurse and care for female patients and perform the required specialised treatment. State of the art skill laboratories help the preparation of the students for their future profession.
