Midwifery in Canada - Prince Edward Island

Report submitted September 2008

The PEIMA and the BORN Coalition are ever hopeful that midwifery legislation will become a reality. Diane Boswell, the Reproductive Care Coordinator has been asked to review existing midwifery legislation. The CO-OP Feasibility Study to open a birth center and women’s health centre indicated that there is enough interest from consumers to go forward with a search for funding, and to seek support from government. We are still waiting for a meeting with the Minister of Health, Doug Currie.
