We need to talk about maternal mortality rates…

The rates of maternal and neonatal death have been dropping around the world since 2000. That's great news - but since 2016, rates of maternal deaths have remained stagnant. We have to do better. I've been invited by the ‪@GatesFoundation‬ to partner with them and attend the 2023 Goalkeepers conference, which focuses on neonatal and maternal health. Goalkeepers is an organization that keeps tabs on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations in 2015 (links below), and this year's report & conference is all about maternal and neonatal health. We're not currently on track to meet the goals for maternal and neonatal mortality rates set out in 2015, but we can get there if we get the right tools to the right people. 00:00 Intro 1:34 UN Sustainable Development Goals 2:27 Maternal/Neonatal Deaths 4:49 Obstetric Hemorrhage 9:34 Anemia + IV Iron 11:44 Sepsis 13:24 Infant/Child Health 14:02 Conclusion Follow me on Instagram (@mamadoctorjones) to see what I'm learning.
