MATERNAL AND CHILD NURSES ASSOCIATION

OF THE PHILIPPINES

In line with the thrust of the International Council of

Nurses (ICN) to organize nurses into various

specialty groups, the Philippine Nurses Association

issued a call in the late 1970s and early 1980s to all nurses to from these specialty groups. On

November 27, 1980, the pediatric and maternal

nurses convened their first general assembly and

subsequently formed the Maternal and Child

Nurses Association.

President: Estelita T. Galuntira, RN, Man

GOAL:

The primary goal of the organization was to provide a mechanism for exchange of information related to the specific practice or maternal and pediatric nursing care. It would seek to elevate the standards of safe child nursing and build up the image of mother and child nurse as a professional.

In 1997, the MCNAP was incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with the new name Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines as the original name was similar to that of the Maternal and Child Health Association of the Philippines (MCHAP

Since then, the MCNAP has sought to be a model organization that upholds the highest standards of safe nursing practice in maternal and child care and committed to ensure quality health services to all Filipino mothers and children. It has provided a forum for discussion of ideas to improve mother and child nursing in the areas of clinical practice, research, and education.
