Gathering of Midwives from AOK Held Completely in Wuppertal

The Bergisches Land region recently hosted the first Midwifery Congress in Wuppertal, attracting a packed crowd of 100 registered midwives. Half of the attendees were from the Bergisches Land region itself, while the other half hailed from the surrounding area.

The event, certified by the Düsseldorf regional government for the purpose of providing further education hours, was set within a health-promoting framework program, with cooperation from Helios University Hospital Wuppertal. The specialist lectures at the congress emphasised the importance of dialogue and exchange between all participating professional groups.

Prof. Dr. med. Markus Fleisch, director of the regional women's clinic at Helios University Hospital Wuppertal, delivered a specialist lecture at the event. Dr. med. Anton Humrich, senior physician of pediatric and adolescent medicine, was another notable speaker.

The midwifery congress in Wuppertal focused on medical topics related to pregnancy and childbirth. It highlighted the role of the midwife as an interface in the healthcare system, a role that is more important than ever. The event did not, however, provide new information about this role or discuss the attendance statistics.

AOK Bergisches Land organised a tailored specialist event to express gratitude to midwives for their important role. The congress also offered participants a certificate as proof of corresponding further education hours, which they must provide every three years.

The event also emphasised the necessity to strengthen one's own health. Prof. Dr. med. Markus Fleisch stated that the specialist dialogue and exchange between all participating professional groups at the midwifery congress in Wuppertal was invaluable.

It's worth noting that AOK estimates there are around 150 registered midwives in the Bergisches city triangle. However, the midwifery congress in Wuppertal did not discuss the estimated number of registered midwives in the region.

The certificate for the additional training within the framework of the first Wednesday Congress for midwives in Wuppertal was issued by the organisation that hosted the congress, but the specific organisation's name is not explicitly mentioned in the search results.

In conclusion, the Midwifery Congress in Wuppertal was a successful event that brought together professionals for education, dialogue, and health promotion. It underscored the crucial role of midwives in the healthcare system and the importance of reinforcing personal health.
