Midwifery care in Saudi Arabia is evolving, and you’re witnessing an exciting new chapter in that journey.

At the 4th International Annual Saudi Association of Midwifery Conference in Riyadh, taking place on 26–27 August 2026, the conversation will explore how collaboration can help shape the future of maternity care in the Kingdom.
One of the topics being presented, “Collaborative Midwifery-Doula Program Model,” looks at how midwives and doulas can work together to support women throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

A More Collaborative Approach to Maternity Care

When you think about maternity care, midwives and doulas bring different but complementary forms of support. As Saudi Arabia continues to advance and regulate midwifery and maternity care, there is an opportunity to explore how professionally trained doulas can work alongside clinical maternity teams.

The discussion looks at practical implementation of a midwife-doula collaborative model, the evolving requirements for doulas in Saudi Arabia, and how this collaboration can contribute to a more supportive birth experience.

The Future of Maternity Care in Saudi Arabia

If you are a mother, midwife, doula, childbirth educator or healthcare professional, this conversation matters to you.

Greater collaboration between birth professionals can help create a maternity ecosystem where women feel informed, supported and cared for throughout their journey.

The Saudi Association of Midwifery Conference brings these conversations together, creating an opportunity for birth professionals to exchange knowledge and contribute to the continued development of woman-centered maternity care in Saudi Arabia. Join us as our Founder, Zahra Batool will be taking center stage during the Scientific session of "Leadership & Future of Midwifery" under the Chairperson Dr. Tahani Ali Alruwaili to present a talk on the topic of "Collaborative Midwifery and Doula Care Program" on Day #1 of the conference at the Radisson Blue Hotel & Convention Center, Riyadh Minhal, Saudi Arabia.
