2023 IDM Theme Announced!
What better way to kick-off the New Year than with the announcement of the 2023 International Day of the Midwife theme. So, without further ado, the #IDM2023 theme is…
Together again: from evidence to reality
This theme is a nod to the upcoming 33rd ICM Triennial Congress<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finternationalmidwives.us17.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Df2452f8729a41f00d64842943%26id%3D83bc375d33%26e%3D78d7d9eb37&data=05%7C01%7Carusa.lakhani%40aku.edu%7C46ae4b4b3fe8469df0c008dafb0186c3%7Ca5d4252a02f94e6096f09733baae4919%7C0%7C0%7C638098281218820587%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=kcjSDw9F157iNxI6%2BUqbWzGrrXPWT%2BdsbsD9uW8Y7KQ%3D&reserved=0> where our global midwife community will come together for the first time in more than five years. It is also honours the efforts of midwives and their associations to action critical evidence like the State of the World’s Midwifery (SoWMy) 2021 towards meaningful change for our profession and the women and families we care for.
