Every birth is unique & every 👩 has the right to a positive #childbirth experience.

The 🆕 Labour Care Guide tool helps #HealthWorkers to:
✅ improve every 🤰 woman’s experience of childbirth
✅ ensure the health & well-being of women & their 👶

👉 bit.ly/37jXwGu
Complications during #childbirth cause:
🔸>1/3 of maternal deaths
🔸1/2 of stillbirths
🔸1/4 of neonatal deaths

To help make life-saving timely interventions, the Labour Care Guide uses a person-centred approach to monitoring 👩 & her 👶 during labour

👉bit.ly/37jXwGu
Evidence does not support the use of a cervical dilatation rate of 1 cm/hour as a screening tool to trigger medical interventions or referral. Instead, the 🆕 Labour Care Guide includes updated, evidence-based reference ranges of labour progress.

👉 bit.ly/37jXwGu
All 👩🧕👩🏾 have the right to a safe & positive childbirth experience. This includes:
✔️being treated with respect & dignity
✔️a companion of choice
✔️clear communication by maternity staff
✔️pain relief strategies
✔️mobility in labour where possible

"The pandemic has reminded all of us of the heroic work that #healthworkers do every day.

Health workers account for an estimated 3% of the world’s population, but account for 14% of all infections with #COVID19"-@DrTedros
"One of WHO’s primary concerns has been to ensure #healthworkers have access to personal protective equipment.

We also advise that health workers should clean their hands regularly with an alcohol-based hand rub, or wash with soap and water"-@DrTedros #COVID19
