International Day of the Midwife, on May 5, is held to celebrate the profession.
North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle and Whitehaven’s West Cumberland Hospital, said: “Over the past year, midwives, maternity support workers and student midwives have gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure they have continued to provide safe and high quality care to women and their families.”
A Times of Malta photo depicting two nurses holding onto each other for support as they are about to treat coronavirus patients at Mater Dei Hospital has been selected by the WHO as its seasons greetings image.
