The profession of a midwife (obstetrix/obstetrics) is an independent profession with a rich history and professional traditions, requiring permanent education. Practicing the profession of a midwife involves providing health, nursing, preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitation and health promotion services by a person with the required qualifications, confirmed by appropriate documents, in the field of care for a woman in various periods of her life, a pregnant woman, a woman giving birth and giving birth, a newborn and a family. Midwifery is the oldest field of medicine. The profession of a midwife is thousands of years old - its origins date back to ancient times and it is both an art and a science. Since the dawn of time, the midwife has participated in the miracle of birth that cannot be compared to anything else. Midwifery is a profession of particular social trust, a profession where, in addition to knowledge, skills and education, passion and vocation are necessary. It is a profession that touches on the mystery of life and that, in its vocation, helps in the most important moment - the moment of birth and development of a new life. A midwife "guards" the health of both the woman and her child - it is a very responsible profession, especially since it involves the need to make decisions independently, supported by legal acts.
