Mabrouka al-Tabiba, in Arabic: مبروكة الطبيبة was a midwife from Libya. Born in 1926 in the village of At Tamimi in northeastern Libya, she grew up fluent in Italian.[1] In 1941 she joined a nursing study program in the Italian capital, Rome. She returned in 1951 to work as a midwife in the Jebel Akhdar region, settling in the city of Bayda. During her career, she supervised more than 30,000 births.[2]
Al-Tabiba was considered one of the symbols of Bayda. The people called her 'Mother of the City', and the neighborhood she lived in was called Mabrouka al-Tabiba in her honour; her name was also given to its market and mosque. She died on 5 January 2017, at the age of 91.[3]
