Humanitarian Midwifery in West and Central Africa
2025-01-28 - 2025-01
The West and Central Africa (WCA) region faces immense humanitarian needs driven by conflict, instability, and climate change. In 2025, nearly 36 million people in the WCA Region are in need of humanitarian aid and 11.5 million are displaced, with women and girls facing heightened risks like maternal mortality, gender-based violence (GBV), and limited access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services.
In 2023, it was estimated that half of the total global maternal deaths between 2000 and 2020 occurred in WCA with 125,215 maternal deaths each year. To tackle this, UNFPA is working in partnership with Ministries of Health to strengthen health systems and midwifery workforces, including training midwives to respond to humanitarian crises to improve preparedness and response capacity.

European Air Ambulance resumes neonatal transport services
2025-02-03 - 2025-02
European Air Ambulance tells us about the intense work it has done to relaunch its specialist neonatal services
Following the devastating fire at its headquarters in March 2024, which resulted in the loss of all the equipment for neonatal air ambulance flights, European Air Ambulance (EAA) is pleased to announce the resumption of its neonatal air ambulance services. With the arrival of two brand-new incubators, along with other essential neonatal equipment, EAA has relaunched its neonatal air ambulance flights with its aircraft fleet, consisting of two Bombardier Challenger 605 and three Learjet 45XR. The Medical Department of EAA, under the leadership of Didier Dandrifosse and with the dedicated support of the Neonatal Medical Supervisor Dr Jean Bottu and Deputy Chief Flight Nurse Jan Saubain, has worked tirelessly over the past few months to select, acquire, and prepare the new neonatal equipment for service.
Specialist challenges
Transporting and repatriating newborns, especially premature infants, presents unique challenges as these vulnerable patients require uninterrupted care. They need meticulous temperature regulation, continuous cardiorespiratory and haemodynamic monitoring, and timely intervention. Moreover, their wellbeing depends on maintaining stability despite environmental factors such as noise, air pressure, temperature and vibrations during transport to and from the airport, during the loading and unloading of the aircraft and, most importantly, during the flight itself.
The missions
EAA’s neonatal missions are always accompanied by highly trained neonatologist and a specialised intensive care flight nurse trained in European paediatric advanced life support (EPALS). Together they ensure the safe handling of the incubator and the highest level of care for the transported patients. By introducing the two new advanced transport incubators, European Air Ambulance is able to further improve neonatal care and ensure the safe and efficient transport of newborns to specialised medical facilities around the globe. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, EAA places the utmost importance on the protection and comfort of vulnerable patients during transport. The highly skilled team of expert doctors and nurses, combined with state-of-the-art equipment, strengthens EAA’s position as a global leader in neonatal air ambulance services. With its unwavering commitment to excellence, European Air Ambulance continues to set the standard for compassionate and reliable medical transport for newborns in critical need of specialised care.

California launches initiative to transform maternity care, address disparities
2025-02-06 - 2025-02
BAKERSFIELD Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The Department of Health Care Services has unveiled a new initiative, Birthing Care Pathways, aimed at transforming maternity care in California. The program seeks to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality while addressing significant racial and ethnic disparities in the state. The ultimate goal is really to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and to address significant racial and ethical disparities in our state," said Babaria, Chief Quality Officer and Deputy Director of Quality and Population Health Management at DHCS. The initiative will prioritize whole-person care, support pregnant members enrolled in public health insurance, and establish evidence-based treatments to save lives.
Experts have pointed to multiple factors contributing to the devastating morbidity and mortality rates reported in the Central Valley, including lack of infrastructure, geographic isolation, and a shortage of providers. Shantay R. Davies-Balch, President and CEO of the BLACK (Belonging, Love, Affinity, Community, & Kinship) Wellness & Prosperity Center, highlighted disparities in investment across the state. "We've seen so much investment happening in Northern and Southern California, like the number of providers, the number of doulas. When we were starting our doula work, we engaged with over 85 providers and most of them had never even worked with a doula, some of them had never even heard of a doula," Davies-Balch said. Data from the California Department of Public Health indicates that between 2019 and 2021, Black pregnant women experienced the highest rates of pregnancy-related mortality.Although California does not report pregnancy-related mortality rates for American-Indian/Alaska Native women due to low sample sizes, the CDC reports that nationally, these women are twice as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes compared to white women. This is attributed to limited resources, lack of culturally competent care, and discrimination. Angel Galvez, Chief Executive Officer of the Bakersfield American Indian Health Project, emphasized the disparities. "The data published in the last three years in terms of race/ethnicity shows that we have the highest disparity rates and percentages among American Indian Alaska Native people," Galvez said.
