Since its founding, the ICM has grown from a small group of midwifery associations in western Europe to a major confederation of more than 90 autonomous member associations from countries in every part of the globe.
Criteria for membership demand that each association is headed by midwives who determine their own governance and activities, and are committed to the mission, vision and aims of ICM.
Applications for membership are welcome and enquiries should be addressed to: info@internationalmidwives.org.
For more information about establishing a Midwifery Association please download the guidelines.
