They provide continuous care, as primary con tact professionals for normal preg nancy and birth. They are trained to also recognize any medical problems, any complications of pregnancy or labour and make the appropriate referrals to the wo man’s doctor. The midwife in such cases continues in her role as a support person for the birthing family. The ability of midwives to accurately detect abnormal condi- ions and make referrals, results in the efficient utilization of medical expertise. In a midwifery based system, obstetricians are used for high risk births where their skills are necessary. As specialists in normal childbirth, midwives can effect sizeable savings to the health care system. Midwifery is a recognized and subsidized part of health care systems all over the world. Governments support mid wifery programs because of their excellent record of safety and their cost-effectiveness. In the last 10 years consumer demand for midwifery care has snowballed.
