Program Overview
Introduction to the Bachelor of Science in Midwifery Program
The College of Vision in Riyadh is launching a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery program, starting from the next academic year. This move reflects the college's commitment to supporting the needs of the Saudi labor market in the health sector and enhancing healthcare services for women and children.
Program Overview
The midwifery profession is a vital healthcare field that is in high demand locally and globally. It plays a central role in improving maternal and newborn health indicators. Midwives provide comprehensive care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, as well as follow-up care for newborns during the first weeks of life. The importance of this specialty lies in its combination of clinical skills, psychological support, and social support, enabling women to have a safe and healthy birth experience.
Program Objectives and Benefits
The program aims to address the shortage of qualified midwives in Saudi Arabia, where there is a significant gap between the actual number of midwives (around 6,000) and the estimated need (over 11,000). The college's program will provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to practice midwifery according to the highest standards. Graduates will have wide job opportunities in public and private hospitals, primary care clinics, and maternal and child health centers, as well as participation in health awareness and education programs.
Program Structure and Curriculum
The program will be offered under the supervision of a team of specialized faculty members and in cooperation with accredited healthcare institutions, providing students with practical training opportunities. The program will combine theoretical and clinical aspects, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped to meet the needs of the healthcare sector.
Alignment with National Goals
The launch of this program aligns with the national goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030, which emphasizes the importance of increasing women's participation in the labor market, developing the healthcare sector, and improving the quality of life. The midwifery profession is one of the career paths that combines these objectives, enabling women to play a leading and influential role in serving the community and promoting a culture of prevention and early healthcare. eoq.scalablytypedHere is the reformatted text in markdown, without the extra text at the end and with proper sectioning and formatting for better readability and adherence to the specified format requirements for publication in a formal journal or magazine setting, while ensuring all details are preserved and presented in a polished and engaging manner suitable for such a publication:
