The School of Nursing and Midwifery in Nairobi will now offer the first Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BScM) programme in Kenya starting from August 2018.
The BScM is a two-and-a-half-year upgrading programme that prepares midwives to provide safe, competent, culturally responsive and quality care at all levels of the healthcare system. This degree is an upgrading programme that will enable registered midwives access higher education and skills training.
The Commission for University Education is a Kenyan regulatory body whose mission is to regulate and assure quality university education through setting and enforcing rules, standards and guidelines for global competitiveness. All university courses fall under it’s jurisdiction, therefore having the Bachelor of Science in Midwifery being given the green light is no small feat.
Whilst sharing the good news with staff, the School’s Dean Professor Sharon Brownie commended the staff and faculty for all their hard work and effort in getting this programme up and running. The education offered through the SONAM EA Midwifery arm honours the normalcy of women’s lifecycle events, appropriate use of interventions and technology for current or potential health problems.
Midwifery preparation believes in consultation, collaboration and referral with other members of the health care team as needed to provide optimal health care to women and their families.
