100 times more likely to die!
Caesarean sections (CS) can save the lives of mothers & newborns; when done safely & on time.
However, in low- and middle-income countries, CS often are NOT safe, with women facing mortality rates *100 times* higher than in high-income countries.

UNITAR is proud to collaborate with @surgfoundation and @RCSI_Irl on @SURGhub, making high-quality trainings accessible to surgical care workers around the world.
"... if trainees can just go to one place and find all the resources they need, that's ideal."
We asked our learners, content partners, and committee members what they appreciate most about @SURGhub.

Globally, health systems are overwhelmed by crises and rising costs. Value-cased healthcare (VBHC) could help us improve care, while reducing costs – a critical step toward #UniversalHealthCoverage.
But what is VBHC?🧐🧵

As pediatric surgeons, we work with some of the most vulnerable families every day. But it also helps to reflect openly on our own vulnerability. Because doing so allows us to more genuinely understand and share our patients' journeys. My recent piece.
