International Day of the Midwife at the Whittington
On Tuesday 5 May, the Whittington Hospital celebrated International Day of the Midwife. The day was
marked by remembering women around the world who had died in giving birth.
Sister Manju Sharma, pictured left, lit one of the candles to mark the occasion. The whole day was very moving, especially for Sister Manju as she was involved in the care of a young woman who died following the birth of her child a few years ago.
Also, to show thanks to the midwives at the Whittington, cakes were arranged for the midwives and shared among the staff at the Maternity Unit.
