Surgical intervention is required in nearly all breast cancer cases.   Far too often in low-resource settings, surgical care is not available when most needed. The consequences of this inequity are terrible.   We have the programs to change this and save lives.   💝 Support our mission for women's health directly at: https://lnkd.in/dcMgN7tw

10,000 births. Caesarean sections are important surgeries that can save the lives of mothers and newborns when done safely and on time. Globally, caesarean sections could prevent nearly 100,000 maternal deaths annually and reduce newborn deaths by more than 30%. However, in low- and middle-income countries, caesarean sections often aren’t safe, with women facing mortality rates **100 times higher** than in high-income countries. Through our new project in Nepal, implemented by NESOG, supported by the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung and #SURGfund, we aim to ensure 10,000 safe, timely, and appropriate births each year across one main hospital and three facilities in Koshi Province. 👉 Here's how we will do it: https://lnkd.in/eAgyShaA
