I am truly honoured to have delivered my plenary talk on counting #obstetric #fistula at the @RCObsGyn World Congress 2025. I used the platform to elevate voices of women suffering from this preventable condition, discussed the numbers and innovative action needed to get to ZERO.

Today, #WorldHealthDay, the latest figures of maternal deaths show slow progress. See what we are doing @MARCH_LSHTM to ensure "healthy beginning, hopeful futures" for #pregnantwomen and their #babies.
