Course Overview

A Nurse-midwife is a person who is trained in both nursing and midwifery and, in Malaysia is certified by the Midwifery Board Malaysia.

Students will be trained and given clinical exposure in the highly specialised medical divisions of gynecology, obstetrics, neonatal care, family and culture, antepartum and postpartum nursing, psychology in motherhood, preventive medicine, recognition of the early signs of medical complications in birthing, and the education for girls and women.

Once they have completed this programme, students will qualify to sit for the examination for certification by the Midwifery Board Malaysia. Students will then graduate as State Registered Nurse and Midwife and be recognized by the Ministry of Health Malaysia.

They will be able to provide skilled midwifery nursing; give quality care to newborns, their mothers, and their families; recognize, mitigate and eliminate problems pertaining to various aspects of pregnancy, birth, and antenatal situations.
