Midwives

<p>This dataset provides data on the number of midwives by status (<em>ie.</em> practising midwives, professionally active midwives, and midwives licenced to practice).</p>

<p><strong>Practising midwives</strong> provide services directly to patients.</p>

<p><strong>Professionally active midwives</strong> include practising and other (non-practising) midwives for whom their education is a prerequisite for the execution of the job.</p>

<p><strong>Midwives licensed to practice</strong> have acquired the requisite education and qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery. They include both practising and other (non-practising) midwives.</p>
