About ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery)

Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery (ANM) is a 2-year diploma programme designed to prepare students for careers in nursing, maternal healthcare, child healthcare, and community health services. The course focuses on developing essential nursing skills, first aid, immunisation, nutrition, family welfare, disease prevention, and primary healthcare. ANM professionals play a vital role in providing healthcare services in rural and urban communities, assisting doctors, conducting health awareness programmes, and ensuring the well-being of mothers and newborns. The ANM curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical clinical training in hospitals, primary health centres (PHCs), community health centres (CHCs), maternity clinics, and healthcare institutions. Students gain hands-on experience in patient care, emergency response, antenatal care, postnatal care, and public health services.
