@CanadaDev partnering with UNFPA to support maternal health services in Tanzania

One woman dies every two minutes during pregnancy or childbirth. And the presence of a midwife can save her.

The presence of a midwife at birth can mean the difference between life& death.

Having a skilled professional at birth protects the life of the mother &the child by recognizing problems early, when the situation can still be controlled

Thamini Uhai Project “Midwives do not only need supplies & equipment. They also require extensive training to safely manage childbirth & to be able to recognize life-threatening complications” @HelenFytche Head of Cooperation & acting High Commissioner #Canada 🇨🇦 in Tanzania 🇹🇿

[UNFPA Tanzania @UNFPATanzania]

📌“This funding from @Canada 🇨🇦 comes at an opportune moment. The presence of a skilled birth attendant is one of the most important factors in the survival of a mother & her baby.Yet about a third of all births continue to take place without a midwife or other skilled attendant”

⚠️ After 200 days of war, the health care system in #Gaza is crippled.

Al-Shifa hospital—where mothers and babies once received life-saving care—is in ruins.

The only way back from this nightmare is for a #CeasefireNOW: https://t.co/v8UiVDJ0Uu

Why #InvestInWomen? For #IWD2024, @UNFPATanzania’s Rep @MarkB_Schreiner emphasizes the urgency of investing to end harmful practices like child marriage & FGM.

Protecting girls' rights and alleviating healthcare strains by preventing trauma-related health issues is crucial.

“Every time there’s a bombing, I’m terrified.”

Pregnant women in #Gaza are living in fear for their lives every day.
