INTERNATIONAL Midwifery Day is celebrated on the 5th of May and the theme for year 2022 is “100 years of progress”.

During the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors, nurses, midwives and maternity support workers have risked their lives to provide maternal care at the low, moderate and high risk stage to women and their families.

The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) joins with the world in thanking them for their sterling contribution, especially in the challenging health environment. At a simple presentation ceremony on Wednesday, the GPHC showed its appreciation by hosting an event to acknowledge the outstanding services of all the midwives.
