Thank you for the question.
In fact, the pandemic has exacerbated the problems we have, including the lack of midwives, which I mentioned. In the short term, these are things we couldn't necessarily address. However, the lack of resources for our professional association, among others, was particularly noticeable. During the pandemic, considerable effort has been made to support members with all the new developments, from all the new clinical guidelines to implementing the measures and obtaining protective equipment. Having worked with all the professional associations across the country, I can confirm that we were all in the same situation, and it would have helped us tremendously at that time to have additional resources.
Obviously, I'm talking about financial resources that would allow us to have people working with us.
The challenges facing midwifery fall to few people. As we move forward, that's one of the important things to look at in terms of the development of the profession.
