[DSD_HEALTH_REAC_EMP@DF_MIDWIFE] Midwives
Updated by provider on July 7, 2025 (5:31 PM).
This dataset provides data on the number of midwives by status (ie. practising midwives, professionally active midwives, and midwives licenced to practice).
Practising midwives provide services directly to patients.
Professionally active midwives include practising and other (non-practising) midwives for whom their education is a prerequisite for the execution of the job.
Midwives licensed to practice have acquired the requisite education and qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery. They include both practising and other (non-practising) midwives.
Please refer to the Sources and Methods for detailed country-specific information. [REF_AREA] Reference area
