In India, you do not necessarily have to become a nurse before becoming a midwife, but many midwifery programs are designed for those who already have some Nursing background.
Moreover, choosing the right pathway depends on your educational background, career goals, and the level of specialisation you wish to achieve. Direct entry programs like ANM are suitable for those looking to start a career in midwifery without prior Nursing experience, while Nursing pathways offer broader career opportunities and advanced specialisation options.
