Practicing at a Specialized Obstetrics Clinic: Is a Midwife Certificate Issued?

According to Article 24 of the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2009, individuals holding professional qualifications related to healthcare, issued or recognized in Vietnam, must undergo a period of practice at medical examination and treatment facilities before being granted a practice certificate, as follows:

- 18 months of practice at a hospital, with research involving hospital beds (hereinafter collectively referred to as a hospital) for doctors;

- 12 months of practice at a hospital for physician assistants;

- 09 months of practice at a hospital with an obstetrics department or at a maternity home for midwives.

- 09 months of practice at a medical examination and treatment facility for nurses and technicians.

According to the aforementioned regulation, midwives seeking a practice certificate must undergo 09 months of practice at a hospital with an obstetrics department or at a maternity home. Therefore, your case of practicing at a specialized obstetrics clinic does not meet the conditions for being granted a practice certificate.

Respectfully!
