Philips partnering with Red Cross to help save lives of pregnant women

https://www.philips.com/better-me-better-world The Philips Foundation is working together with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to help save lives of pregnant women in Africa. Every year over 160.000 African women a year die in childbirth and 300.000 lose their babies in labour. We are working together with the ICRC to develop a High Risk Pregnancy toolkit. It will help healthcare workers and mothers to identify risky pregnancies before they become life threatening.

These are some of the strongest women in the world. Not only do African women often work hard throughout their pregnancies. Over 160,000 a year die in childbirth. The odds aren’t good. But they face them with strength, often giving birth at home without medical care. 300,000 a year lose their babies during labour. We want to support these strong women. So we are working together with the International Committee of the Red Cross to develop a High Risk Pregnancy toolkit. It will help healthcare workers and mothers to identify risky pregnancies before they become life threatening. It’s a simple thing that can help save lives. There is always a way to make life better
