Proud to share our BMJ Global Health paper, analysing stillbirths in The Gambia & their association with access to CEmONC facilities. Proximity alone isn't enough—quality & readiness matter. #MaternalHealth #Stillbirth #EmONC #GlobalHealthhttps://gh.bmj.com/content/10/4/e016579


🚨Intrapartum stillbirth rates are unacceptably high. #EmONC facilities need to be geographically accessible, fully operational AND deliver quality care. Oghenebrume Wariri Winfred Dotse-G Momodou T. Nyassi Mustapha Bittaye Hawanatu Jah Àdúràgbèmí Banke-Thomas Prof Joy Lawn

🤱Mothers and newborns deserve a world where they can thrive. 🗣️On #WorldHealthDay, Dr Aduragbemi Banke-Thomas and Dr Hannah Blencowe London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine discuss the importance of advancing research to inform action and improve the lives of pregnant women & their babies. #HopefulFutures

Today, #WorldHealthDay, the latest figures of maternal deaths show slow progress. See what we are doing MARCH Centre, LSHTM to ensure "healthy beginning, hopeful futures" for #pregnantwomen and their #babies. More than ever, they must be at the centre of research, policy, and action!
