In conflict settings, women and children tragically account for a staggering 70% of civilian deaths yearly. Amid the chaos, hope lies in robust evidence-based interventions to sustain essential health services. More in our @PLOSGPH paper: https://t.co/8C4Ifng87L

A really interesting report - provides valuable insights that can guide advocates, researchers, & practitioners in addressing key priorities & shaping effective #MNH strategies. must-read for anyone working to improve #SRH #GlobalHealth

[AlignMNH @alignmnh]

Conflict in #Sudan has had a devastating impact on #MNCH. The deterioration of health services, mass displacement & widespread hunger have created a perfect storm. Dr. Dalya Eltayeb shares how communities & #CHWs are working to provide essential services: https://t.co/3gYhrsL47J

The complexities of implementing #MPDSR in #humanitariansettings must be addressed in order to save the lives of mothers and babies. #BornIntoCrisis https://t.co/nAFirxAVEp

[IAWG Maternal & Newborn Health Sub-working Group @BornIntoCrisis]

Maternal & Perinatal Death Surveillance & Response is essential to saving lives. If #MPDSR is insufficient in #Texas, imagine the complexities in a fragile or partially destroyed health system. Bianca's life could have been spared, like so many others. https://t.co/DZd2NAim4K

"See these are just some of the ways women die during #childbirth. I don’t want to be a downer, but in many cases, there is no warning, & things can go bad very quickly."

Now imagine you're a mother in #Gaza or #Sudan - women's health must be protected.

Pregnancy & childbirth don't stop in times of crisis.

In #Sudan, 80% of hospitals are closed & 2 out of 3 people don't have access to health services. These mothers and their newborns deserve & require high quality care immediately. #BornintoCrisis
