19 DAYS TO GO!

A midwife does more than assist with childbirth.

A midwife educates.
A midwife listens.
A midwife advocates.
A midwife detects danger.
A midwife provides emotional support.
A midwife protects dignity.

And when systems invest in midwives, communities benefit.

This September, we celebrate the knowledge, skill and humanity behind the profession.

It takes a midwife.

20 DAYS TO GO!

Behind every maternal health statistic is a woman.

Behind every newborn statistic is a baby.

And behind many safe births is a midwife who stayed alert, listened carefully, made decisions and offered reassurance when it mattered most.

This conference is about more than presentations and scientific papers.

It is about the people behind the numbers.

It is about better care, stronger midwives and healthier families.

We are counting down.

What does access to a midwife mean to you?

It can mean having someone who listens.

Someone who explains.

Someone who respects your choices.

Someone who knows what to do when things suddenly change.

And sometimes, it can mean the difference between fear and confidence during childbirth.

With 21 days to go before the MAK Scientific Conference & AGM, we are getting ready to have deeper conversations about access to quality midwifery care.

The countdown is officially on!

In 22 days, the Midwives Association of Kenya will bring the midwifery community together for the 11th Scientific Conference & AGM 2026, happening 23–25 September 2026 at The Luke Hotel.

Under the theme “Midwives Access: Advancing Quality, Rights, and Innovation,” we will create space for conversations that matter to midwives, women, newborns and families.

Because improving maternal and newborn health starts with investing in the people who provide care.

Are you ready to be part of the conversation?

15 DAYS TO GO!

No midwife ever stops learning.

Every birth teaches something.

Every mother has a story.

Every new piece of evidence gives us an opportunity to improve.

Every conversation with another midwife can spark an idea.

That is the beauty of professional learning.

The Midwives Association of Kenya Scientific Conference is almost here,and we are ready to learn, share and grow together.

Innovation is not simply about new technology. It is about finding better, smarter and more sustainable ways to improve care.

From evidence-based practice and digital health to new models of service delivery, research and professional development, innovation can help midwives respond to the changing needs of women, newborns and communities.

The 11th Scientific Conference will provide a platform to share ideas, evidence and practical solutions that can move midwifery forward.

23–25 September 2026 ; The Luke Hotel, Nairobi

The question is not whether we need innovation.

The question is: How do we turn innovation into better access and better outcomes?

Every woman deserves care that is safe, respectful, dignified and responsive to her needs.

At the 11th Scientific Conference, the Midwives Association of Kenya will bring the rights of women, newborns and midwives into focus, because quality healthcare cannot be separated from dignity, respect and professional recognition.

When midwives are empowered and supported, they are better positioned to provide the quality, respectful care that women and families deserve.

Let us advance a future where access, quality and rights are at the heart of every maternal and newborn health service.

The 11th Scientific Conference of the Midwives Association of Kenya will create space for meaningful conversations on strengthening access to midwives and improving the quality of care for women, newborns and families.

As we work towards a stronger midwifery workforce, we stand with the global call for .
