On behalf of the Austrian Midwives, I am happy to invite midwives from all over the world to Vienna, the capital of Austria. I am very proud to host this international congress here in Vienna. We hope to meet many of our colleagues from different parts of the world. This Congress will provide an extraordinary opportunity for midwives to come together and form networks of support and knowledge.
Austrian midwives have a long professional history.
Since 1994 we have a new law, which supports our holistic approach to healthcare for mother and child. We look forward to welcoming you to one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, situated as a link between East and West and well known for its music and culture. Therefore we hold a key-position in helping to fulfil the great potential of women, particularly in achieving the goals of Safe Motherhood.
