Midwives are the backbone of maternal and child healthcare in many communities around the world. They provide essential care before, during, and after childbirth, ensuring that mothers and newborns receive the best possible care. The work of midwives is especially critical in areas where access to healthcare is limited, and maternal and infant mortality rates are high. In Hargeisa, Somaliland, midwives play a vital role in providing maternal and child health services at the Hargeisa Group Hospital. With the support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), midwives like Rahma Haybe and Hamda Cawil have been trained to provide high-quality care to mothers and newborns. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, the hospital has been able to offer a range of services, including childbirth assistance, neonatal care, family planning, and support for survivors of gender-based violence.
