National Midwife Day, or Hari Bidan Nasional, is observed in Indonesia every June 24 to honor the contributions of midwives to healthcare and promote unity among them. The day commemorates the First Midwives Conference in Jakarta and the establishment of the Indonesian Midwives Association (Ikatan Bidan Indonesia, IBI) in 1951, which aimed to connect midwives across the country. The IBI, which has over 330,000 members and more than 200 branches as of 2019, focuses on enhancing professional knowledge, improving public health, and raising awareness of midwives' roles in reducing maternal and infant mortality. Celebrations typically include seminars, webinars, and social media campaigns organized by the association. Midwives in Indonesia play a crucial role, especially in remote rural areas, where they often serve as the only healthcare professionals available to pregnant women.
