Abstract
The Malay institution is too unique.
Various terms related to the individual involved arise based on their
respective roles. Among the most popular to date are shaman, shamans, handlers
and midwives. Although the field of medicine has
grown with many new discoveries of science and technology, midwifery roles have
never been affected especially in remote areas. Often midwives are required in
urgent moments before the patient is taken to the hospital or clinic. In the cities
there are midwives. These midwives are in hospitals or in private clinics. They
have specialized qualifications in the field of birth and are more geared
towards modern medicine. They are paid and considered as one of the public or
private sector employees. For some societies, midwives are highly respected. This
is because the average villagers consider the influence of a midwife very
strong on the baby at birth. There is a belief that the life or death of the baby
depends on the midwife’s own actions. Generally, midwives or callers who are
more or less familiar with Tok Bidan or Mak Bidan play a role in welcoming the
birth of a baby. Midwives are usually of a relatively old and experienced women
in birth.
