Happy Mother’s Day: Honoring Mothers by Empowering Their Partners in Care
********
This Mother’s Day, as we celebrate the strength of Ethiopian mothers, we also recognize an important area for collective action: ensuring the safety of the 8,000 to 10,000 women who are still lost annually to preventable complications. At the Ethiopian Midwives Association (EMwA), we believe the ultimate Mother’s Day gift is a safe and joyful birth.

In alignment with the International Day of the Midwife (IDM 2026) theme, "One Million More Midwives," we highlight the critical link between maternal well-being and midwifery care. Midwives provide 90% of essential reproductive services, though they manage significant professional demands. Our dedicated heros are addressing the needs of 24/7 shifts, while a notable employment misalignment leaves 5,000 trained midwives available for service, despite a national workforce requirement of 30,000.

To honor mothers, we must invest in their clinical advocates. We invite relevant authorities and esteemed stakeholders to bridge the workforce gap, institutionalize the Midwifery Model of Care, and ensure competitive professional incentives and an enabling work environment.

Today, we celebrate the mothers of Ethiopia and the midwives who stand by them. Investing in midwives is a commitment to ensuring every mother returns home to her family.

Happy Mother’s Day & International Day of the Midwife!
