The Crisis of Childbirth in Sudan: Maternal and Infant Deaths Amid War
United Nations humanitarian agencies reported on Friday that the state of maternity care in Sudan has reached a critical point due to the ongoing war. According to the report, many pregnant women are losing their lives and those of their babies due to a lack of access to specialized medical services. The scarcity of healthcare facilities and widespread insecurity have made it impossible for thousands of Sudanese women to access vital pre- and post-natal care. This situation has further deepened the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, which was already severely impacted by internal conflict.
