Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM)

The Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) is a vital role in the healthcare system, particularly in rural and underserved areas. This diploma program, typically lasting 2 years, is designed to train individuals in providing basic healthcare services, especially to women and children. ANMs are trained to assist in childbirth, provide prenatal and postnatal care, and manage common health issues such as infections, malnutrition, and family planning. They play a crucial role in promoting maternal and child health, offering guidance on hygiene, immunization, and breastfeeding.

The ANM curriculum covers subjects such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Community Health Nursing, and First Aid. Students also learn about Reproductive Health, Nutrition, and Childcare, equipping them with the knowledge to care for mothers during pregnancy, labor, and after delivery, as well as taking care of newborns. Additionally, they are trained in administering vaccinations, assisting with routine medical examinations, and maintaining medical records.
