DESCRIZIONE

This book deals with the central theme of freedom to practise midwifery in selected countries of the world. Each chapter has a separate author who has specific knowledge of the country for that chapter either as a citizen or researcher. Freedom to practise midwifery must reflect best practice, both individual and collective. Therefore the underpinning theme of this book is the philosophy of best midwifery practice - particularly that which is evidence-based. To clarify the meaning of the term, the book includes an initial chapter that discusses the aims and realities of achieving ‘best practice’ – wherever in the world a midwife may be and under whatever circumstances she may be working.
