Midwife Training

A midwife's scope of practice was the care of an expectant mother, a woman in labour, a puerperal woman, a foetus or a newborn child. Regarding the qualifications of a midwife, the Governor's Office of Taiwan promulgated the "Rules for Midwives in Taiwan" in 1899, which stated that any person who had obtained the approval of the governor of a state or the head of a department could become a midwife. The law governing midwives did not appear until 1902, but most of the midwives at that time were of Japanese nationality, and in 1907, Taipei Hospital first recruited Taiwanese women as midwives. In August 1907, the Taipei Hospital of the Taiwan Governor's Office established a one-year, publicly funded accelerated midwifery training programme for Taiwanese women who had completed at least three years of public schooling and had a basic knowledge of Japanese. In 1922, the course was modified to include Taiwanese women who had completed six years of public schooling; in 1924, the Taipei Hospital of the Taiwan Governor's Office continued the one-year accelerated midwifery course, targeting nursing mothers.
