    Client Family Centered Maternity care is a structured and comprehensive care given to the pregnant woman and her family to prepare them physically, spiritually and socially toward the arrival of the new born. This care is a required study that every final year student offering Registered Midwifery Program is supposed to undertake to satisfy the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana to help contribute to the award of the Professional Certificate in Registered Midwifery. Also the client family centered maternity care study enables the student Midwife to put into reality the theoretical aspect of midwifery into practice and also uses the knowledge acquired in pharmacology, sociology, psychology, nutrition, dietetic and nursing perspective to identify client‟s problem. This knowledge would help the student physically, socially and psychologically to manage the woman during pregnancy, labour and puerperium. The student during the care establishes good relationship with the entire family. The care study equips the Student midwife with the skills needed to give quality care, identify deviation from normal during the period of care, and also the study involves family members in the care from the first visit of the pregnant woman till the end of puerperium. From the above reasons, the client family centered maternity care is necessary and also helps to reduce and prevent the possible causes of maternal and child morbidity and mortality rate.
