Question 26973 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Vuilletet draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the expansion of midwives' areas of expertise. Equipped with diagnostic powers and the right to prescribe, midwives form a medical profession with defined skills. Their scope of intervention with women and newborns is established in the public health code. The midwife provides surveillance and medical follow-up of pregnancy, but also supports women throughout their lives by ensuring gynecological monitoring for prevention. The Order of Midwives is leading actions to expand the areas of expertise of midwives: vaccination, addiction, abortion, violence, etc. Preventive measures also concern people in the direct environment of the woman and child, including the latter's parents. He would be important in this context to broaden the areas of expertise of midwives by allowing them to carry out STD prevention and screening examinations on the spouses or partners of the women they follow in consultation. In liaison with the Order of Midwives, he asks it to take this concern into consideration in projects to broaden the areas of expertise of midwives and to have it registered in the public health code.
