    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    South Africa is an active member of the International Council for Nursing (ICN) as well as the International Labour Organization (ILO), a member of the African Union (AU), South African Development Community (SADC) and the Commonwealth. The South African (SA) qualification would meet recognition requirements in most of the member countries of these organizations throughout the Sub-Saharan countries. In the South African context, dating back to the 1960s, to become a midwife a person first had to qualify as a nurse and further be subjected to an additional period of training as a midwife.

    The SA qualification is aligned closely with the 2016 World Health Organisation's Africa regional prototype curriculum for Midwifery that all WHO African region countries follow. The qualification is aligned with the Global standards in the midwifery practice of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). On successful completion of this qualification and on successful registration with the South African Nursing Council as a midwife, they will be internationally recognised.

    Global standards compared:
    The purpose of the midwifery education programme is to produce a competent midwife who:
  • Has attained/demonstrated, at a minimum, the current ICM Essential competencies for basic midwifery practice.
  • Meets the criteria of the ICM Definition of a Midwife and regulatory body standards leading to licensure or registration as a midwife.
  • Is eligible to apply for advanced education; and
  • Is a knowledgeable, autonomous practitioner who adheres to the ICM International Code of Ethics for Midwives, standards of the profession and established scope of practice within the jurisdiction where legally recognized.

    The sequence and content of the midwifery curriculum enables the learner to acquire essential competencies for midwifery practice in accordance with ICM core documents. The midwifery curriculum includes both theory and practice elements with a minimum of 40% theory and a minimum of 50% practice.

    Country: Malaysia
    Institution: Malaysian Allied Health Sciences Academy (MAHSA).
    Qualification Title: Advanced Diploma in Midwifery.
    NQF Level: Malaysian Qualifications Framework, (MQF) Level 5.
