  • Quality, skilled attendance at birth is considered the most critical intervention for ensuring safe motherhood. How can we ensure that  the recommended standards of life saving care are delivered in all countries so that the lives of mothers and babies are not needlessly put at risk?
  • The reproductive years are a key window of opportunity to provide integrated care for women and girls. What are some of the policy and service recommendations you have seen that result in better care not only during these years, but also throughout the lifecourse?
  • How can these recommendations drive progress and change for women and girls, and societies at large?
  • What's your one take away message for our audience today?

Hear from FIGO Vice President, Dr Faysal El Kak during his presentation at the Women Deliver Power Stage   

The Power of Community - Co-hosted by ICM and FIGO Is the Midwife - Obstetrician relationship a danger to women?

By invitation only The challenges women face in accessing quality of care and reproductive rights are not ‘obstericians problems’ or ‘midwives’s  problems,’ they are major challenges we must tackle together.

If we are to progress towards the 2030 Agenda, including the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality, we need to provide equitable access to the full range of sexual and reproductive health-care services. For obstericians and midwives to be better equipped to provide the quality care that women want and need during the childbirth continuum we must work collaboratively in respectful and equal relationships, each recognising, understanding and valuing the contribution of the other.

Starting the dialogue is a first important step in this process.

When:  Thursday 6th June, 10.30 - midday Meeting Room 12, Vancouver Conference Centre, East Wing.
