The Zimbabwe Confederation of Midwives says it is committed to providing quality services to women, their babies and families, deputy director nurse and midwifery training education and administrator Dr Lilian Dodzo from the Ministry of Health and Child Care said.
Speaking during the 25th Midwifery commemoration day held in Harare, Dr Dodzo said this day was running under the theme “United we stand, and United will fall”.
“We meet this day as 10 provinces to make sure our Federation improved as compared to other years.
Dr Dodzo said they commemorate the day to cover the gap that they were experiencing as midwives
“We also want to revisit the Constitution to strengthen areas or gaps that actually led to the problems that we have been experiencing and we have not reviewed the Constitution, but we have amended some sections of it,” she said.
“We have midwives in the private sector and local government who would like to know and share the experience of what they are doing in their sectors.”
Dr Dodzo said as ZIMOC midwives, they are committed to continuing providing good maternal services.
“We will make sure to come up with strategies that improve the work around the clock to ensure safe delivery in both public and private hospitals,” she said.
“We appreciate the Ministry of Health and Child Care for providing us a platform as midwives to discuss professional issues.”
ZIMOC president Mr Tashinga Muchena said the commemorations were meant to deliberate midwives’ issues.
“We want to thank the Government for letting us meet as midwives to deliberate on midwifery issues and to come up with resolutions that will help in the near future and bring positive change to health delivery services,” he said.
A member of the group, Mrs Mercy Chinanga said the commemorations give them a chance to discuss ideas to help women in need.
