About The Department:

The term “midwife” literally means “with woman.” Although nurse-midwives are best known for their work during pregnancy and specifically labor and delivery, nurse midwives care for women’s health in a comprehensive way.

The Department of Maternal & Child Health Nursing is dedicated to enhancing the knowledge and skills of students in key areas, including Antenatal, Intra Natal, Post Natal, and Newborn care, in addition to their theoretical education. Our aim is to cultivate exemplary practitioners in the field of Maternal & Child Health Nursing.

The Maternal & Child Health Lab is comprehensively equipped with various articles, models, charts, and play therapy materials. In this lab, students engage in hands-on learning to master essential nursing care skills, including Antenatal Assessment, the management of Normal and Abnormal Labor, and Essential and Immediate Newborn Care.

Our department provides clinical and classroom instruction for undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma nursing students, ensuring a well-rounded and thorough education in Maternal & Child Health Nursing.
