Over-medicalisation of birth has been rising for decades—often at the expense of women’s and newborns’ health.

ICM calls for health systems and midwives’ education to protect and promote normal, physiological birth as a safe & essential option for women.

Interesting. Not sure. When I used creative methods for my EDD I did ask them to interpret some of the things they made. If you are meaning jointly no. I will have a look properly for you

Deaths from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) are preventable — in 2023, nearly 45k women lost their lives to excessive bleeding after birth.

Now, we take a step forward: 5 of October will be marked annually as World #PPHDay — a call for action, advocacy, & accountability.

In 2020, New Zealand’s abortion law reform reframed abortion as a health issue — opening the door for midwives to provide early medical abortion care.
For rural midwives, this has been transformative: expanding their scope of practice & strengthening community access to services.

Do you mean they are involved by using creative methods to do the interpretation or that the data had creative methods used?

Interesting paper about contamination of breastfeeding alternatives- including expressed milk

Dr Sophia Komninou @sophiakomninou.bsky.social · 15d

Just published! Supervised my student Chelsea's systematic review on foodborne infections in infant feeding.

I hope this helps improve safety protocols for vulnerable infants.

Paper is open access if anyone's interested in the full findings.

so DJT had been given 15mins to speak and he took an hour. That alone is disrespectful to other countries. I would like to know why they did not switch him off?

The EU Midwifery Directive hasn’t meaningfully changed in 45 years. In 2024, the European Commission announced its revision.

For ICM, this is a critical chance to modernise education and regulation & ensure safe, equitable care across Europe.
