UN #maternal mortality estimates released today reveal setbacks for women’s health. Maternal deaths have increased & stagnated in many countries. A woman dies every 2 minutes due to pregnancy or childbirth. >70% occur in Africa. #HealthForAll who.int/publications/i/item/…

I know how hard these teams (quoted video) have worked, especially in last Q/2021. They changed the face of the vaccine program in Malawi &Africa: IT'S NOT HESITANCY, BUT limited access to either the vaccine or vaccine information or both! @Ran_George: "get it, it's lifesaving"
WHO is at the center of Malawi's #COVID19 vaccine rollout. Giving crucial technical and financial support and helping train health workers.
