Midwife-led care can prevent 60% of maternal and newborn deaths. This is especially important in low- and middle-income countries, where 95% of these deaths occur. Let's support midwives to save lives before, during, and after childbirth!

🚗🚨 In many African cities, access to emergency obstetric care is a race against time for pregnant women. Until now, models that calculate travel time have not accurately reflected the reality in those cities. Our latest #innovation, powered by @GoogleHealth, sheds light on the stark inequalities in travel time to hospitals. 🏥Check out our groundbreaking study published in @LancetGH. @SRHgroup_ITM #MaternalHealth https://t.co/CyugLjq7sO
