Sociological Anthropological Institutions: The Role of Midwives in Health Promotion examines midwives as pivotal actors within socio-health institutions who mediate between formal medical systems and local cultural contexts. From a sociological and anthropological perspective, midwives do not merely perform clinical functions; they act as agents of social change who interpret, negotiate, and transmit health values in ways that align with community norms, beliefs, and practices. Through sustained interpersonal relationships with mothers and families, midwives build trust, shape health-related behaviors, and strengthen reproductive and family health in a culturally responsive and sustainable manner.
