Around the world, around 300,000 women die from complications in pregnancy or childbirth each year, 2.5 million babies die during the first 28 days of life, and just as many are stillborn. The vast majority of maternal and newborn deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan #Africa and Southeast #Asia . One way to address these statistics is to build the capacity of health workers when managing childbirth emergencies. The #SafeDeliveryApp , a smartphone application developed by the #MaternalFoundation in partnership with the Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark aims to do just that. Through simple, intuitive animated instruction videos, drug lists, and quizzes, the Safe Delivery App guides health workers in how to handle the most common childbirth emergencies.
