Idaho "lawmakers refused to extend the tenure of the state’s #MaternalMortality Review Committee, an expert panel... that investigated pregnancy-related deaths...
That was a bridge too far for Dr. Amelia Huntsberger, the #Idaho obstetrician who helped lead a push to create the panel in 2019. She recently moved to #Oregon.
“Idaho calls itself a quote ' #ProLife state', but the Idaho Legislature doesn’t care about the #death of moms,” she said."

I'm very happy to receive this support from MSF South Asia for my reporting on maternal health in Nepal #maternalmortality #maternalhealth #nepal #journalism #media
#media #journalism #nepal #maternalhealth #maternalmortality
My latest post: During the recent breastfeeding week here in Nepal there was much focus on the long downward trend in breastfeeding. Many people point to growing numbers of women in the workforce, which is one factor. But there are others, like a lack of counselling during antenatal and postnatal visits.

Boosting mobile-phone access and coverage, closing digital divides, can be powerful tools to empower women, improve health, and reduce poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the positive impact of women's cell phone access is larger in the least-developed countries and the most disadvantaged small areas.

In 200+ countries, cell phone access is associated with lower gender inequality, higher contraceptive uptake, and lower maternal and child mortality.

Risk of death related to pregnancy and childbirth more than doubled between 1999 and 2019 in the US -- Most maternal deaths are considered preventable because, in the U.S., maternal deaths are most often caused by problems that have very effective treatments, including bleeding after delivery, heart disease, high blood pressure, blood clots and infections. https://tinyurl.com/mu29jm2x
