Abstract:
The term ‘reorient’ means to orient after disorientation. Orientation is
determining one’s position in relation to another. Reorientation requires
changing of course or alignment. In order to reorient, there is need to know
where you are and where you ought to be. What better way to reorient
midwifery in Kenya other than according to international standards?
This chapter depicts how the midwifery profession in Kenya may have
suffered decades of disorientation. One would agree with me after a clear
debate revolving around the sibling relationship that midwifery has with
other health professions, important of nomenclature, the percieved point
of disorientation, pearls of widom from Ghana, prossessional growth and
requirements for professional growth in Midwifery, midwifery legislation
in African countries and current and anticipated developments in
midwifery
