Ebook World's Midwifery Delivering Health, Saving Lives

---

This report comes at a propitious moment in the
international campaign for women’s advancement.
The recent establishment of the dynamic new
agency UN Women, as well as the launch of the
Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health,
combine to offer hope for greater progress in the
coming years.
Nowhere is this more urgently needed than in pre
venting one of the greatest tragedies of our time:
the needless death and injury each year of millions
of poor and marginalized women and children
worldwide. Of the eight Millennium Development
Goals, the two specifically concerned with improv
ing the health of women and children are the
furthest from being achieved.
This is not a matter of statistics. The woman who
perishes from hemorrhaging during childbirth or
the infant who dies during a complicated birth
each has a name and a family who love and cher
ish them. Beyond individual tragedy, these losses
carry untold social and economic repercussions
for society.
We know what is needed to make pregnancy and
delivery safe: access to health services, including
skilled birth attendants and a functioning health
care facility. We also know it is possible to mobilize
the leadership and action needed to provide these
ii
services to every expecting woman and her baby.
At the launch of the Global Strategy, numerous
developing countries demonstrated great political
will — backed by new commitments — to scale-up
the number of skilled birth attendants and provide
the midwifery services that women need through
out their reproductive years.
The State of the World’s Midwifery 2011 — the first of
its kind — takes stock of the practice in 58 countries.
Collectively, they represent 91 percent of global
maternal deaths. Using fresh data, information and
analysis, the report identifies common challenges
within and among countries while highlighting
promising approaches to strengthen midwifery
services around the world.
The report focuses on the critical early period
when deaths can be averted. It is an important
companion to other efforts aimed at rigorously
measuring action and results, including the Global
Strategy and the report of the Commission on
Information and Accountability for Women’s and
Children’s Health.
Ensuring that every woman and her newborn
have access to quality midwifery services demands
that we take bold steps to build on what we have
achieved so far across communities, countries,
regions and the world.
Our responsibility is clear: we must safeguard each
woman and child so they may live to their full
potential. The results will reverberate far beyond
the lives of those directly affected, fostering a
better world for all.
