Happy Mother’s Day.
On this day we at Maternal Health Matters would like to acknowledge the care mothers provide for their families and the unpaid work they contribute to our society.

The safest place to give birth is where the woman feels safest.

Most women give birth in hospital – but it's got more to do with World War II than health https://t.co/iCszMcqVct via @ConversationUK

Maternal Health Brief 2022

Dignity - values and vulnerability are acknowledged and accommodated, where a woman is recognised, understood, treated with respect, fairness and accountability.

@alisonleary1 We need to remember that certain groups profit from risk, and that their knowledge / technology / institution / protocols supposedly has the ability to reduce that risk.

[Maternal Health Matters @MattersMaternal]

What's needed is a clear policy direction grounded in primary health, service integration & focussed on prevention not treatment in a respectful maternity care framework led by midwives – care that is cost effective & has better outcomes for mothers & babies.
