WATCH: Support for development of midwifery profession in Somalia and Somaliland

[Deeq A.]

Around the world, women lack adequate access to quality health care, which make pregnancy and childbirth difficult and, in some situations, fatal. Midwives provide crucial maternal care in many parts of the world and can help mothers and children lead healthy lives before, during, and after birth. The UN’s Global Goals for health and well-being (Goal 3) and gender equality (Goal 5) both address the need for providing adequate reproductive and health care for all.
