Did you know? Every 2 minutes, a woman succumbs to preventable causes linked to pregnancy and childbirth. The toll is alarmingly high, with about 287,000 women losing their lives during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020. 😢💔 75% of these maternal deaths are due to preventable complications such as severe bleeding and infections. The gap in skilled birth attendance is staggering—68% in low-income countries compared to 99% in high-income and upper-middle-income countries. At Global Health Action, we're on a mission to change these numbers by supporting pre and postnatal care for women and training traditional birth attendants in underserved communities globally. Join us as we create ripples that build waves of change for women everywhere. 🌍💪 #MaternalHealth #GlobalHealthAction #GHADidYouKnow

Lending My Voice to Preeclampsia Awareness I want to take a moment to raise awareness about preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication that affects approximately 5-8% of expectant mothers. Preeclampsia can arise unexpectedly and poses significant risks to both mothers and babies, making it essential for everyone to understand the signs and symptoms. Recognizing high blood pressure, swelling, and sudden changes in health can be life-saving. As we discuss this condition, it's important to educate ourselves and advocate for those affected. By spreading awareness and knowledge, we can help ensure that women receive the care they need and deserve. Together, we can build a supportive community that prioritizes maternal health and works to break the stigma surrounding preeclampsia. Let's unite our voices and advocate for better resources, education, and support for all those impacted by this condition. Every conversation counts, and every voice matters. #PreeclampsiaAwareness #BeyondTheBump #MaternalHealth #SupportEachOther

Today, on Maternal Health Awareness Day, we recognize the critical importance of maternal health for all birthing parents. We also recognize the significant racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequities that persist in maternal health care, which impact too many families. We’re committed to supporting facilities around the country to ensure that all mothers and birthing people, regardless of race or background, receive consistent, evidence-based, respectful care—during pregnancy, birth, and after they transition home. #TenStepsTuesdays  #ProudToBeBabyFriendly #HospitalsMakingADifference #ExcellenceInMaternityCare #BFHI #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay

Pregnancy stages of a Data Under normal circumstances, 9months is the due timeframe for birthing a child. Under a normal course, time-frames are set-up every project for start to finish. Normally, a pregnant woman goes for antenatal care processes to promote, and manage her health and keep the developing baby healthy. Normally, a project course goes through a certain process according to it's guidelines which is been monitored and evaluated within a stipulated timeframe for a good outcome. Usually, a pregnant woman doesn't eat everything and do everything to avoid complications. Usually, a planned project doesn't require redundant data for informed decision making. What would you rather relate your cause with? Give your vision a timeframe. Give your "cause" it's due process. Plan accordingly. #vision #plan #execute

➡️ Last week a woman delivered at home because of no means to come to hospital and came in having incurred massive blood loss. ➡️ Birth prepardness for pregnant women above 36 weeks is very important. ➡️ Means of mobility to the hospital when a woman have passed 36 weeks pregnancy age is important, some women neglect this. ➡️ Pregnancy is like a car you don't know when it can spoil, so you should anticipate and prepare. Even if you and huzzy dont have a car is not a problem, arrange with a keke or a mini bus or a private car or inform your neighbors that have a means of mobility so that they will be aware and you tell them that they can be called at night should something urgent arises. Preventive healthcare is better than curative health care. Good health is wealth. #kingsleykanu #drkingsmedicalconsult #drkingsdigitalhub #healthwellness
