2. Within the framework of the pilot projects, any act the object of which is to provide the required care and services to a woman during pregnancy, labour, delivery and the postnatal period constitutes the practice of midwifery. The practice of midwifery includes, without being limited to, prenatal and postnatal counselling of parents, preventive care, the detection of abnormal conditions in the woman or newborn child, the delivery, the provision of care to the woman and newborn child and family planning.
A midwife may also, within the scope of her practice, make a vaginal examination using a speculum, perform an amniotomy, perform and repair an episiotomy and repair a minor perineal laceration.
