In a childbirth emergency, health workers have the power to save women’s and babies’ lives. That’s why at IntraHealth we do everything we can to make sure health workers in communities everywhere are on the job and prepared for those emergencies.
We know that training and deploying health workers where they’re needed most reduces a mother’s risks drastically. We know that health workers play a key role in providing services and information about contraception, which prevents 77 million unintended pregnancies, 24 million unsafe abortions, and 125,000 women’s deaths every year.
And we know that investing in health workers is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve global health.
