UNISA Yogyakarta Lecturers ‘Upgrade’ Midwives’ Skills in Muntilan, Implement WHO Standards

 A team of lecturers from the Midwifery Study Program at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta held a special training session for midwives at the ‘Aisyiyah Muntilan General Hospital in Magelang. With the theme of the latest WHO standards, this training focused on how to provide a positive birthing experience for mothers.

The activity, which was held on Thursday (11/9), aimed to refresh the knowledge and practices of midwives in line with the latest global health recommendations. A total of 22 midwives at the ‘Aisyiyah Muntilan General Hospital participated in the material and practical sessions.

UNISA Yogyakarta lecturer Nuli Nuryanti Zulala explained that this knowledge update is very important. According to her, proper childbirth care is not only about safety, but also about the positive experience felt by mothers and families.

“This is very important to improve the welfare of mothers and babies, reduce the risk of death, and increase mothers’ satisfaction with the care provided by midwives,” said Nuli in her statement.

The management of RSU ‘Aisyiyah Muntilan welcomed this initiative. The Head of Training, Hasanuddin, hopes this activity will improve service quality and patient satisfaction. The midwives participating in the program also hope such scientific update programs can continue so they can provide the best services based on the latest scientific evidence.
