Alikalia, Koinadugu, Sierra Leone, 29 April 2021 – “Serving a hard to reach community like Alikalia comes with a lot of challenges. The good thing, however, is my contribution in promoting safe motherhood and in reducing maternal mortality which I am proud of as a midwife,” said Regina Conteh, a midwife attached to the Alikalia Community Health Post, Koinadugu district, north of Sierra Leone.
With 717 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to the 2019 Demographic and Health Survey. Sierra Leone is still among countries with the world’s highest maternal mortality ratio.
Midwives remain the basis of UNFPA’s work in achieving the three transformative goals of zero preventable maternal deaths, zero unmet need for family planning, and zero gender-based violence and harmful practices against women and girls.
