Sažetak
Ethics is one of the defining factors of every profession, including midwifery. Midwives face numerous ethical issues in their daily practice. Their relationship towards pregnant women, mothers and children, midwives and gynecological patients is very complex and they must have the skills and knowledge to act ethically. The approach to bioethical issues today is multidisciplinary, and special attention in perinatal medicine, gynecology and obstetrics is not left only to health professionals, but includes the client/patient and her family, with significant attention to the rights of the fetus. Therefore, the paper shows that in addition to the necessity of midwifery ethics in the construction of midwifery as a well-rounded profession, midwifery ethics is the basis for establishing an adequate relationship with the client/patient and her family in everyday midwifery practice and providing adequate health care.
