A United Nations report published Wednesday said that the world is currently facing a shortage of 900,000 midwives, and called on governments to make this profession a priority.
This shortage could lead to the death of millions of women and newborns, according to the document jointly prepared by the United Nations Agency for Sexual and Reproductive Health, the World Health Organization and the International Confederation of Midwives. The Covid-19 crisis has exacerbated the problem with the decline in health services for women and newborns, the interruption of midwifery services and the recruitment of midwives in other health services, the United Nations added in a press release regarding the report, which deals with 194 countries.
