Happy International #DayOfTheMidwife .

Midwives play a vital role in sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health, and deliver services that could save over 4 million lives a year.

Thank you all for your commitment and dedication to saving lives.

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!
