UNICEF has teamed with Rhodes University Biotechnology Innovation Centre to develop an aptamer that could save countless lives by making smarter, more affordable pregnancy diagnostics available to women everywhere. Pregnancy-related deaths have dropped some 34% globally since 2000, but still remain far too common. Some 2.8 million pregnant women and newborns die every year, mostly of preventable or treatable causes. Approximately 95% of these deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. Early pregnancy detection can save countless lives by enabling timely antenatal care.
