U.N. says global midwife shortage putting lives at risk

Midwifery wasn't mentioned in their last 13 world's most urgent health challenges list. Climate change and health care equity were added over the past several years. Looks like we're now up to fourteen global funding priorities. Or did they slip another one onto the list since the first of the year? Hard to keep up.

We hope so, "Governments must prioritize funding and support for midwifery and take concrete steps to include midwives in determining health policies,"
