In order to improve health disparities both at home and abroad, expectations are high for midwives as maternal and child health professionals. It is important to develop human resources who have the practical ability to autonomously explore support based on an understanding of the diversity of women, children, and their families, and to provide care in collaboration with others. Let's experience the realities of the field both at home and abroad and explore together the role of midwives in responding to global society and the next generation.
