Member Testimonial
Being part of the Ethiopian Midwives Association has strengthened my skills and confidence as a midwife. Through continuous training, advocacy, and peer support, EMA empowers us to provide safer, more respectful maternity care to mothers and newborns across the country. I am proud to be part of an association that truly stands for midwives.

As a young midwife, EMWA has given me mentorship, learning opportunities, and a strong professional voice. The association inspires me to grow, advocate for women’s health, and uphold the highest standards of midwifery care. EMA makes me feel seen, supported, and valued.”
