| More than 1000 Midwives took to the streets in Durban |
The 2011 Midwifery Reports has projected an annual death rate of 358, 000 women who are either pregnant or giving birth, with some 2 million newborns dying within the first 24 hours of life and a record of 2.6 million stillbirths.
The State of the World’s Midwifery 2011: “Delivering Health, Saving Lives” published by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on June 20, blames the loss of lives on “inadequate healthcare”.
