Creating Connections – Midwifery Between Hands-on Practice and High Tech Swiss Obstetrics Forum

"Creating Connections – Midwifery Between Hands-on Practice and High Tech” is the theme of the new Swiss Obstetrics Forum, held for the first time jointly by the Departments of Health of Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) and the School of Health Science at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

The conference focuses on topics such as digitalizations and innovative models of peripartum care. The title represents the connection between obstetric expertise, technological innovation, and the new collaborative partnership between the two universities.
