DEVICES REDUCE CHILDBIRTH MORTALITY

It is 2014 and unfortunately in many developing countries women die while giving birth. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 800 women in rural areas of developing countries die every year because they can't access health centers on time when giving birth. 

Many organizations have been working to help reduce the rates of maternal deaths. Three devices developed by Norwegian company Laerdal Global Health are being implemented to save the lives of many babies that die for complications during the birth process. These devices are ‘NeoNatalie Suction’, ‘NeoNatalie Newborn Simulator’ and ‘MamaNatalie Birthing Simulator’ and are all designed to save hundreds of thousands of lives. Making this simple, affordable, and effective devices available for midwives to help all those mothers expecting a baby can make a big difference. The kit is being implemented to teach midwives how to respond when giving birth so the risks of having a mother or a baby die when giving birth can be reduced even on a 47%.
