Midwives are essential to health system resilience.

By achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered care by 2035, we could avert 67% of maternal deaths, 64% of newborn deaths, and 65% of stillbirths—saving 4.3 million lives every year. #IDM2025

Sharing some ‘greatest hits’ from the archives for my new followers (hi!). A classic maternity rant from me for @newstatesman.com here - different government now, but the same issues persist.

The midwife crisis demands action — before it is too late

The emotional and physical toll on midwives such as myself is unsustainable. When will the government wake up?
