Abstract:

The year 1989 has been a remarkable year for midwives and midwifery in New Zealand. Future midwives will view this year as a significant step forward in our history. Ultimately, the decisions made and directions taken will have far reaching effects on the New Zealand family. The reaffirmation of midwifery as a profession in its own right will, I believe, lead to a stronger and more effective midwifery service which in turn will strengthen women's perception of birth as a normal life event.
