“It was my first delivery, and it was painful. But I am thankful to my mother & the midwife. I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if I delivered at home” Farida recounts her experience giving birth at a Family Health House supported by @UNFPA 👇 unf.pa/4aINBbU
Women do not start wars, and they often cannot end them, but they always pay a high price. Pregnant women, new mothers and newborns in #Gaza are in a race against death to survive. A #ceasefire and sustained access to supplies are their only hope for survival.
More than 10 million pregnant and breastfeeding women in #Ethiopia are under-nourished. Many of those hungry women will face pregnancy and birth-related complications. See how @UNFPA is responding to the urgent needs of women and girls: unfpa.org/ethiopia #InvestInHumanity
.@UNFPA releases a new report that shows global progress in bring down maternal death rates and the actions needed to make an impact on the world’s poorest and most marginalized, for whom access remain largely out of reach. Check out the report here: unfpa.org/swp2024
🚀 Discover how @UNFPA empowers mothers globally! From innovative apps in Bangladesh to expanding family planning in Brazil & training midwives in Niger, their initiatives save lives & shape maternal health. #PartnersForChange Read more: 👇 pmnch.who.int/news-and-event…
🚫 No woman should die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Join @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—to speak out and say #MyHealthMyRight: unf.pa/whde #GlobalGoals #ICPD30
This #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, let’s amplify the conversation about a condition affecting roughly 10% (that’s 190 million‼️) of women and girls of reproductive age worldwide. More info 👇 who.int/news-room/fact… Together, we can advocate for more research, better…
At last week's Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop, we inched closer to our shared vision of a world with reduced maternal and neonatal mortality. 👶 Our 🇱🇦 team is fired up and ready to execute a clear plan to make this vision a reality! #NeonatalCare #EmergencyObstetrics
When Farida's condition did not improve later in her pregnancy, she finally heeded her mother's advice. Today, she couldn't thank her mother enough, and we thank 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA's support for another safe childbirth in #Afghanistan. Find out more: tinyurl.com/yc9exuvt
🌟 New @WHO Report! 🌟 Learn how gender-equitable investments in health and care work can drive fairer economies, gender equality and better health outcomes. Learn more: ow.ly/LKQU50R0sCo #GenderEquality #GenderEqualHCW #PayWomen
.@UNFPA #Nepal was proud to be part of a regional session in #Bangkok alongside @MOHPnepal, @WHO, and @unicefnepal, to share Nepal's achievements in strengthening midwifery which will support the country's commitment to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths.
On Day 3 in🇸🇧#SolomonIslands, @UNFPAAsiaPac Regional Director @PioSmith_UN donated #Midwifery Kits to National Referral Hospital OB-GYN, and visited National Medical Store. RD also met with Hon. Permanent Secretary of National Planning & Development Coordination Ms @SusanSulu4🙏🏻
Women make up 67% of the paid health and care workforce and perform 76% of unpaid care activities globally. Yet, low pay and poor conditions persist. The result? A growing crisis in health and care. Read the new report: bit.ly/4ccAX6c
🚨 Hunger, desperation and fear overshadow Gaza. @UNFPAPalestine Representative Dominic Allen shows “absolute catastrophe” at the only functioning maternity hospital in #Gaza city. @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—is taking action: unf.pa/gazacrisis
Pleased to meet Hon. @DrShaneRetiMP, Health Minister of #NewZealand, for the first time. We discussed @UNFPA’s longstanding partnership with New Zealand and work on #SRHR and maternal health in the Pacific region. #GlobalGoals
This is how we work: Even in the most difficult circumstances, delivery of reproductive health supplies to our health facilities must continue to support the needs of women and girls, especially in the most remote areas. @UNFPAAsiaPac @unafghanistan (Video courtesy of OHPM)
The availability of reproductive health services, medicines and supplies helps reduce maternal deaths. The continued support of @eu_echo to the provision of reproductive health kits allows @UNFPA to meet the maternal health needs of pregnant women in #Afghanistan
