UBC Midwifery Director, Dr. Cecilia Jevitt was an invited guest lecturer for the Midwifery Education Program at Stikes Abdi Nusantara University in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 25, 2022

The Indonesian midwives asked her to describe midwifery in Canada, continuity of care and family involvement in maternity care. Approximately 1,500 midwives across Indonesia participated in the webinar via Zoom or the YouTube livestream. Indonesia, as a country, has the largest number of midwives in the world – more than 250,000. The presentation was followed by a question and answer period with the midwives eager to hear about British Columbia’s universal maternity coverage.
