Midwives at the Vale of Leven Hospital are being celebrated on the International Day of the Midwife.
The Duchess of Cambridge has marked the end of a global campaign to raise the profile of nursing by praising the “amazing work” of a Ugandan midwife who has dedicated her life to supporting mothers.
Kate heard about the harrowing experiences of young women and girls supported by community midwife Harriet Nayiga when she interviewed the health worker for Nursing Times magazine.
The midwife is the founder of Milcot (Midwife-led Community Transformation) which works to help mothers in disadvantaged communities receive medical care before complications arise.
The two women chatted via video link in March and the conversation has been published on the International Day of the Midwife – May 5. The interview also marks the completion of Nursing Now, a three-year global campaign to raise the status and profile of nursing.
