This IDM, we wanted to honour their courage, skill, and midwifery philosophy of care which deserves a healthcare system that recognises its worth,” Dr Evita Fernandez, Chairperson and Managing Director, Fernandez Foundation said.

Other events that were part of IDM-2025 included ‘The Midwife’s Touch’, a live role play that walked viewers through the emotional challenges midwives help mothers navigate from pregnancy to childbirth and Wheel of Birth, an interactive activity that tested knowledge of parents about newborn care and breastfeeding through midwifery-themed games.
