.Equalize Health through the ECHO telementoring programme is building the capacity of healthcare workers to deliver care for maternal and newborn health effectively

Ending preventable maternal and neonatal deaths is at the core of the #SDGs third objective of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages, where all children across the globe reach their fifth birthday and no woman dies as an outcome of pregnancy or childbirth.

The vast majority of maternal and neonatal deaths occur in low-resource settings, and many could be avoided if frontline healthcare workers, health systems, and processes for providing care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and immediately after birth were strengthened.

In their “Conversations for Change,” Opportunity Collaboration tackles the topic of the role of philanthropy in promoting wellbeing for social change leaders - a relevant topic as we come out of the pandemic and focusing on building back better #OC2022

Happening now: Equalize Health shares its impact formula for identifying the most significant need for technologies and developing devices with the greatest impact.

All babies and mothers are entitled to affordable, high-quality health care before, during and after pregnancy. Uneven access to affordable, high-quality health care and services still impedes many countries from improving maternal and newborn survival and reducing stillbirths.

C'mon people. It's 2022. 2.2 million U.S. women of childbearing age – 15 to 44 – live in 'maternity care deserts' - where there is little to no access to maternity care. Thx March of Dimes + CNN for continuing to cover + publicize. cnn.com/2022/10/11/hea…

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Through #SDG 3, health is central to Agenda 2030 and linked to over a dozen targets in other goals on urban health, equal access to treatments, and non-communicable diseases.

Longstanding health inequities that existed even before the pandemic are now in the spotlight, demonstrating the importance of having quality, accessible healthcare and, more importantly, that access to life-saving medical technologies is vital to addressing health inequities.

Prematurity is the leading cause of death for under-5-year-olds. Global survival rates are highly unequal. In low-income settings, half of the babies born at or below 32 weeks die from a lack of feasible, cost-effective care, such as breathing difficulties. #WorldPrematurityDay

Suboptimal use of technology in middle-income settings is increasing the burden of disability among preterm babies who survive the neonatal period. Adequately using technology has the potential to decrease the burden of preterm birth and reduce health costs #WorldPrematurityWeek

Although maternal health has improved in recent decades, prematurity remains a major global health issue. Prematurity still leads to organ injury, especially of the lungs and brain, and is responsible for half of perinatal mortality. #WorldPrematurityWeek

Historically, technological advancement in neonatal care has been transformative. Survival chances for premature babies increased significantly through technological progress such as development of incubators & ventilators specifically designed for newborns #WorldPrematurityWeek
