A review of midwifery in mainland China: Contemporary developments within historical, economic and sociopolitical contexts.
CONCLUSION: Midwifery in China must continue to develop in parallel with international trends. Investment in midwifery education alone will not suffice; it will have to operate within strong government policy regarding regulation, effective human resources management, visibility of the role of the midwife and development of the service delivery environment in which future midwives will work in China.
