Editor's Notes
- The State of the World’s Midwifery Report, launched in June 2011 at the Triennial Congress of the International Confederation of Midwives (Durban, South Africa) was developed in collaboration with more than 30 international agencies and organisations, including UNFPA, the International Confederation of Midwives and the World Health Organization. It provides the first comprehensive analysis of midwifery services, education, regulation, deployment and conditions of service in 58 countries where maternal and newborn mortality are highest. The 58 countries profiled in the report represent 91% of the global burden of maternal mortality, 80% of the global burden of stillbirths, and 82% of the global burden of neonatal mortality – but only 58% of the world’s total births per year, and crucially, only 17% of the world’s health workforce.
- To understand need, we looked at disaggregated country data, not national figures. The maps here show differences within the countries. This is to ensure that the health system response is focused on equity, and responsive to population needs in remote, rural and urban areas. We want to ensure that your place of birth does not determine your right to life. Data is extracted from the country demographic and health surveys (DHS). We developed an algorithm to convert the data to age-specific fertility rates by district. This data was related to population data at 1km2 (available from afri/pop and asia/pop using advanced satellite mapping technologies) to produce the expected pregnancies per district per year. It is important to note that data is collected in terms of pregnancies per year, not births per year. This provides a far more sensitive estimate of the demand on health systems, health services and health workers, than births.
- Addressing the failed to reach is the most important challenge. Ban Ki-moon made it clear in the preface to theState of the World’s Midwifery Report: this requires bold action.
