As an advocate for respectful maternity care (RMC), I have learnt one mystery in practice. Your attitude as a midwife can make or break your skills..RMC is essential!!, smile, it just makes sense.. @WRAglobal @maternity_today @stm_canada @50khappyBdays @WHO

Tomorrow is #WorldPreeclampsiaDay. An estimated 20% of the world’s maternal deaths are from pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Well supported and empowered midwives can make a difference and save more lives. #EndingEclampsia

[50kHappyBDays @50kHappyBdays]

The returns on investment in midwives is huge. When empowered and authorized with all essential basic life-saving competencies, midwives can help avert over two-thirds of all maternal deaths. #IDM2018 @world_midwives

We visited Kalingalinga Health Center in Lusaka and met Theresa Phiri. She has been trained in #Helping Babies Survive and #HelpingMothersSurvive, and she knows how important it is to continuously work on her skills. This is her message to all midwives.

Today the midwives associations give shape to how the program will look like in each country. @world_midwives 's very own project officer Shantanu Garg gave all a booster on project planning skills.

Have you heard of Low Dose High Frequency? This technique allows
#midwives to keep practising what they learn in #50kHappyBirthdays
workshops in low-pressure, frequent environments with training
materials in their facility.

[50kHappyBDays @50kHappyBdays]

The main causes of preventable death during #pregnancy and #childbirth have not
changed in the last decade: post-partum haemmorrhage (#PPH) and birth asphyxia.
#50kHappyBirthdays trains #midwives to manage both so that they are capable and
confident in moments of crisis.
