    Nursing and Midwifery are both vital components of the healthcare system, but they focus on different areas of patient care and require distinct sets of skills and knowledge. 

    Nursing encompasses a broad range of healthcare services. Nurses provide care to patients of all ages across various medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, community health centres, and homes.

    Midwifery specifically focuses on care related to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and reproductive health. Midwives provide comprehensive care to women throughout their reproductive lifespan.
