Midwives Save Lives
Compelling evidence that Midwives Save Lives
The State of the World's Midwifery Report, launched at the ICM Triennial Congress in Durban in June 2011, provides compelling statistical evidence for the vital role midwives play in saving lives of mothers and babies.
Behind the report stand some of the key international partners in maternal and reproductive health. Based on data gathered via UN and partner representatives (UNFPA, WHO, UNICEF,etc) from 58 countries all over the world, it highlights the importance of ICM's mission to strengthen midwifery around the world. And it demonstrates how increasing the number of trained midwives will substantially reduce mother and baby deaths globally.
It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the health of women and children.
