New Lancet Series: Maternal health in the perinatal period and beyond, Western Africa

3 June 2024 14:00 – 15:15 UTC Time

This webinar is in French only

Join this webinar for the launch of a new Lancet four-part Series on Maternal health in the Perinatal Period and Beyond.

Experts will present findings related to: how maternal health is intricately linked to human adaptations to the planet; how cultural, political, and economic structures influence the social determinants that shape women’s vulnerabilities during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period and beyond; the long-term consequences of labour and childbirth that are left out of global maternal health agenda; intersectional approach to address global maternal health inequities; and how to apply this new knowledge to address the reported stagnation in global maternal mortality ratio, and achieve other relevant SDG targets.
