The Community Midwife (CMW) is a 2-year diploma program designed to train skilled birth attendants who can provide safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive maternal and newborn care. This program is specifically crafted for individuals who want to play a vital role in supporting women during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. At New International College of Nursing and Health Sciences (NewICONHS), we prepare students to become trusted healthcare providers in both urban hospitals and rural communities.
Midwifery is one of the oldest and most respected professions in healthcare. It is built on the belief that every woman deserves access to safe delivery services and respectful care during one of the most significant events of her life. Our CMW program instills this belief in every student while equipping them with the practical skills and scientific knowledge needed to handle normal pregnancies, identify complications, and refer high-risk cases to doctors when necessary.
Our institution was founded with a vision to transform healthcare education in Pakistan, and the Community Midwife program is a cornerstone of that vision. We understand that midwives are the backbone of maternal health services, and we take our responsibility to train them very seriously. Here is what sets our CMW program apart:
Practical-Focused Training – We emphasize hands-on learning from day one. You will practice delivery techniques, newborn care, and emergency procedures in our simulation labs before moving to real clinical settings.
Community Engagement – Our program includes fieldwork in local communities, allowing you to build relationships with families, understand cultural practices, and learn how to provide care that respects traditions while following medical best practices.
Experienced Instructors – Our faculty includes senior midwives and obstetricians who have decades of experience in maternal and child health. They share real-world insights and mentor you through every stage of your training.
Clinical Rotations – You will complete supervised rotations in maternity wards, birthing centers, and community health clinics. This exposure helps you develop confidence, clinical judgment, and the ability to work under pressure.
Holistic Approach – We teach you to care for the whole person, not just the medical condition. This includes emotional support, counseling, and health education for mothers and their families.
