Abu Dhabi: Three women became the first Emiratis to complete a midwifery course, the Corniche Hospital announced in a statement Wednesday.
The women completed an 18-month Bachelor’s programme offered by the hospital in the Applied Science of Midwifery.
“We believe that this landmark initiative will have a strong impact on maternity care across the UAE,” said Dr. Mariam Al Mazrouei, deputy chief executive officer at the Corniche Hospital.
“With very few registered midwives across the emirate of Abu Dhabi and with growing demand for their services, we hope the success of our midwifery training program will serve to encourage many more Emiratis to enter this profession,” she added.
