Students are also given the opportunity to be Members of National Midwives Association of Uganda - NMAU
Yesterday 6th Sept 2025 was truly special!

Following an official invitation from the administrators, we had the honour of engaging with student midwives at Aghakan University to share about the vision and work of the National Midwives Association of Uganda.

The discussions were rich, inspiring, and full of energy and this was a clear reminder of the passion the next generation of midwives carries. Even more exciting, 7 out of 10 students in this class chose to join us as members!

A heartfelt appreciation goes to Madam Lydia, a proud NMAU member whose intentionality in nurturing her students and advancing the midwifery agenda made this possible. Her commitment to building capacity among future midwives is commendable.

Together, we continue to amplify the voice of midwives and strengthen our midwifery profession
