Reflections on The International Confederation of Midwives Congress 2023

Abstract

There is something inspiring about a group of thousands of the world’s most passionate and experienced midwives coming together, as was the case at the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) congress, held in Bali earlier this year. This triennial conference fosters empowerment, knowledge exchange and collaboration. The purpose and significance of the conference is multifaceted, bringing together professionals dedicated to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes globally. Attendees were spoiled for choice with a programme filled with inspirational midwifery leaders from all corners of the world. If only we could hear from them all!
