Abstract: Midwifery care models have evolved significantly, with a strong emphasis on providing holistic, patient-centered care to expectant mothers and their infants. This paper explores various midwifery care models, their implementation in different healthcare settings, and their impact on maternal and infant health outcomes. By reviewing current research and case studies, the paper highlights the benefits of midwifery-led care, including lower intervention rates, higher patient satisfaction, and improved health outcomes for mothers and infants. The study also examines the challenges faced by midwives and provides recommendations for enhancing midwifery practice.
