message

Learn about women's health, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare from the perspectives of women, men, newborns (fetuses), and families. From the acquisition of the minimum knowledge and skills necessary for clinical practice, there are many social issues that cannot be answered, but let's tackle them with the spirit of learning from the past. The goal of nursing is to bring out the potential of the subject. I also hope that through this course, students will become people who value their own lives, sexuality, and reproduction.
