D513 – Making Pregnancy and Childbirth Safer in Nepal

Context

In Nepal, approximately 800 women and 11,000 newborns continue to die each year in the period around pregnancy and labor. Most of these deaths could be prevented with simple fixes, like having a well-trained healthcare provider at delivery and adequate medical equipment at the health facility.

Goals

The goal is to make pregnancy and childbirth safer for all, so that mothers and their newborns don't just survive but thrive. This is envisioned with a robust local healthcare system that prioritizes women's and newborns' unique needs, supported by the whole community.
