New evidence from a WHO-led study in four countries shows that more than one-third ofwomen experienced mistreatment during childbirth in health facilities. The study, carriedout in Ghana, Guinea, Myanmar and Nigeria showed that women were at the highest riskof experiencing physical and verbal abuse between 30 minutes before birth until 15minutes after birth. Younger, less-educated women were most at risk, suggestinginequalities in how women are treated during childbirth. Addressing these inequalities andpromoting respectful maternity care for all women is critical to improve health equity andquality. The study built on the results from a mixed-methods systematic review conductedin 2015 which developed a typology of what constitutes mistreatment of women duringchildbirth based on 65 studies conducted in 34 countries. To promote maternal andnewborn health, critical public health interventions must be scaled up. Assume you are aReproductive Health Specialist;a) With clear and relevant…
