MORE THAN CAREGIVERS, THEY ARE LIFESAVERS: SRMS NURSING COLLEGE CELEBRATES THE REAL HEROES OF MOTHERHOOD, ‘THE MIDWIVES’!
Celebrating compassion, care, and the hands that bring new life safely into the world…
On the occasion of International Midwife Day, the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Caring Hands Club at SRMS College of Nursing, Bareilly organized a meaningful community awareness programme focused on maternal and newborn healthcare.
Aligned with the WHO theme, “One Million More Midwives: Every Mother Deserves a Midwife,” the initiative was conducted under the guidance of Dr Muthu Maheshwari (Principal) and Prof Paras (Vice Principal), SRMS College of Nursing.
From impactful outreach activities at Bhojipura Block to engaging demonstrations and role plays at the auditoriums of SRMS College of Engineering Technology & Research and the Nursing College, the programme highlighted the critical role midwives play in creating healthier communities. Nursing students delivered insightful presentations and live demonstrations on Antenatal Exercise, Family Planning, Active Management of Third Stage of Labour (AMTSL), and Prevention & Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH), spreading awareness about safe motherhood and maternal wellbeing.
The theme banner was unveiled by Pratyencha H. Ram (Assistant Professor & HOD, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, College of Nursing), while Dr Shashi Bala Arya (HOD, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences) inspired students with an encouraging address on compassionate and skilled maternal care.
The programme was seamlessly carried out by Pratyencha and Shalini Singh (PG Tutor), and anchored by Anshima Shukla and Anshuman Singh (MOCs). Towards the end, vote of thanks was delivered by Smita Chand (Assistant Professor, Nursing College).
