The OptimistRelentless pursuit of an equitable world |
When nurses and midwives are excited about a health care innovation, we’re excited, too. And they sure do feel strongly about this one.
It’s a handheld, portable ultrasound device designed specifically for the needs of women in low- and middle-income countries, where this critical tool that helps ensure healthier pregnancies hasn’t historically been available. As our colleague Dr. Rasa Izadnegahdar explains, lack of access to ultrasounds contribute to high maternal and infant mortality rates in much of the world.
This week, you'll hear from midwives, nurses, and researchers in Kenya who are currently testing and using this new device. Rasa also shares his take on just what makes these new devices so innovative, including a glimpse at how AI will transform them further.
“Our mothers,” says Jane Waire, a midwife who is testing devices in Nakuru County, “are now getting the very best.”
On the heels of International Day of the Midwife last Sunday and in honor of International Nurses Day this coming weekend, we celebrate Jane and her peers across the globe for their work bringing safe, reliable health care to women.
