VISIT TO UP BY UK ROYAL COLLEGE OF MIDWIVES AND BANGLADESH MIDWIVES

On 12 April 2019 the University of Puthisastra hosted a midwifery delegation from the Midwifery Society of Bangladesh, BRAC University Bangladesh, and the Royal College of Midwives UK. Cambodia is one of the few countries in Asia where midwifery is independent of nursing and where midwives work autonomously; allowing other countries to learn from Cambodia’s example.

The delegation met with the Midwifery faculty at UP, visited the skills lab and the library and exchanged many ideas. BRAC University extended an invitation for UP staff and students to visit Bangladesh at later date for reciprocal learning. The UP team involved in the discussions was led by UP’s Head of Midwifery Mrs Sim Sophanny.
