📢Report in @TheLancet on #WHA77 resolution on #maternal #newborn #child mortality. As I said in the report, the resolution’s push for an adequately skilled, supported, and safe-guarded health workforce is welcome. The health workforce is dwindling in high-burden countries.

Happy reading 😇

4.5 million mothers and babies died in 2023 alone, while we looked away. Their blood cries out, demanding action.

The slogan “No one is safe until everyone is” echoed throughout the #covid19pandemic, as it affected us all regardless of income, race, or origin. 7 million people died due to COVID-19 from 2019-2024. Yet, in 2023 alone, 4.5 million mothers and babies died (2.3 million #neonataldeaths, 0.29 million #maternaldeaths, 1.9 million #stillbirths). Additionally, 2.3 million newborn survivors live with disabilities.

Despite this, we don't act with the same urgency as with #covid19. We turn away, thinking:

1. It's the @WHO or @UN problem. They're aware. They've worked with the world's best scientists for decades to show us what was happening, how to handle it and are working on it. We now know that 80% of #neonataldeaths are preventable: #prematurity, #intrapartumdeaths, and #neonatalinfections. Maternal and child mortality rates dropped globally from 12.7 million in 1990 to 6 million in 2015. But since then, mortality has stalled. If nothing changes, 26 million #neonataldeaths will occur by 2030.

Supranational organizations can't change how we act as individuals or communities. Change starts with us.

2. I'm not a health professional. True, but start by raising awareness. Share this post (it's the least you can do), join parent advisory groups, and so on. If you're a decision-maker, change your setting or community. If you're a journalist, act like you did with #covid19, spotlighting the relentless toll as you are speaking. If you have nothing to give at all, you can at least be kind to others, stop judging, you don't know what people are going through.

3. This could never happen in my country ("I’m safe, I don't care'). You are right not to feel concerned, especially if you are 100% sure your next generations or relatives will not be in the wrong part of the world in 5-10 years. But remember that, this self-sufficiency is what jeopardized the world when COVID-19 started.

4. Who does she think she is? This isn't about me. I'm screaming for the inexcusable and inacceptable loss, for those who've lost hope, for parents who feel they don't deserve to live now that they couldn't save their baby. I'm screaming for the families who watched their daughters die while doing what should be the most joyous thing in the world. I am screaming not for a privilege, but for a #humanright.

I am #raisingawareness for those who are left behind by #inequality, for a #better and #healthier world for all.

''No one is safe until everyone is. Leaving no one behind''.

Three priority areas to #InvestInWomen:

1. Increase the availability of affordable, long-term finance for sustainable development
2. Governments to prioritise equality for women and girls
3. Increase women in leadership positions
