⚡ Midwives are often first responders when climate disasters strike or conflict breaks out ⚡ See how the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is enabling #midwives to deliver hope for mothers and newborns in #Yemen: unf.pa/bca

A touching article.

In working with the PUSH Campaign, I see how #SRHR is consistently sidelined during humanitarian events. The war in #Gaza is no different.The deprioritisation of #SRHR underscores how these conflicts literally bleed into the next generation. One powerful antidote to this trend is investing in #midwives who are already embedded in communities and require limited resources to care for pregnant and birthing people. This is especially important when hospitals and health facilities are unreachable, unsafe or destroyed. Now and beyond the confines of this crisis, we need to advocate for midwives as a critical component to how we respond to humanitarian events.If possible, please support these organisations working in Gaza to support maternal health and sexual and reproductive health: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

Ultrasound technology has emerged as a crucial tool in improving maternal and infant healthcare, globally. In countries like India where access to advanced medical facilities is limited, imaging modalities such as Ultrasound can help leverage the power of 'network of midwives' through ASHA & ANGANWADI, for providing last mile care to expectant mothers and ensure safer pregnancies through faster & better diagnosis. Over 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy & childbirth. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) estimated 12.7 maternal deaths per 1,000 live births, in 2017. Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in India was last reported at 97 per lakh live births in 2015-2017, as per WHO. https://lnkd.in/du4aTZAd Innovations such as #PhilipsCompact #PhilipsLumify can further accelerate access to ultrasound technology through ease of portability and power of #AI and thus help serve even the most remote and underserved areas in India. Recognizing the pivotal role ultrasound can play in maternal healthcare, Government of India has included Ultrasound as part of the comprehensive antenatal care in #PradhanMantriSurakshitMatritvaAbhiyan (PMSMA). Fundamentally, making ultrasound technology more accessible can pave the way for a transformative healthcare delivery system in #India. #PCPNT #Ultrasound #Philips Your thoughts...

A normally distributed CSR policy is essential for more even justified distribution of resources and finances for socio-economic causes by SOEs. #Maldives by end of this year will adopt a fresh CSR policy for SOEs.

From the cost of fertility treatments, to maternity pay, childcare, the cost of living & education - our birth rates are dropping precipitously because it's just not financially possible for people to have & support a family in this country. And this will have a hugely negative knock-on effect in the years to come - an inability to fill jobs, to drive the economic engine and to support the elderly. https://lnkd.in/eVTjz5hy
