"A midwife is a person who is qualified to practice midwifery. She is trained to give the necessary care and advice to women during pregnancy, labor and the postpartum period, to conduct normal deliveries on her own responsibility and to care for the newly born infant. She may also have training in gynecology and child wellness. At all times, she must be able to recognize the warning signs of abnormal or potentially abnormal conditions of pregnancy or labor that would necessitate referral to a doctor, and to carry out emergency measures in the absence of medical help. She may practice in a hospital or other health units, or in a domiciliary service. In any of these situations, she has an important task in the health education of the family and community." WHO
