HND Midwifery Syllabus

Cameroon has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, and skilled midwives are a critical part of the solution. HND Midwifery graduates are trained to provide professional care throughout pregnancy, labour, delivery, and the postpartum period — directly saving lives.

The program combines theoretical knowledge in obstetrics, anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology with intensive clinical practice in maternity units.

Government health centres, district hospitals, private maternity clinics, and mission hospitals across Cameroon consistently need qualified midwives.

The HND Midwifery (MID) is a two-year higher technical education program offered by universities and institutes of technology under the Ministry of Higher Education in Cameroon. It combines foundational theory with practical, industry-relevant skills to prepare students for employment or further study.

National examinations for HND MID are organised by the National Commission for the Organisation of the Higher National Diploma Exam. Students sit for papers across the courses listed above, following the exam framework set by the commission. Knowing the structure of each paper — including mark allocation and section breakdown — is essential preparation.

UNEE provides verified HND MID past questions from national examinations, organised by year and paper. Studying past questions is the most effective way to understand what examiners focus on and how papers are set. Download the UNEE app free on Android to access all available papers.
