Sustainable Birth: Systematic Solutions Across the Continuum of Care" Workshop & Edited Volume

DEADLINE EXTENDED! Call for papers now closes May 30.

Birth is in a state of transition as well as crisis across the globe. The Sustainable Birth workshop and edited volume seeks to address the shockingly high human, social, and economic cost of birth in different parts of the world. There have been considerable gains in reducing maternal and neonatal deaths in the last 15 years. Yet with a death toll of nearly 830 mothers every day, 2.9 million neonatal deaths and 1.2 million intrapartum stillbirths every year from largely preventable causes, the status quo is neither sustainable nor particularly laudable. In accord with the current focus on sustainability, we explore systematic and innovative solutions to excess maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity that can be adapted across nations, regions, and communities to restore mother-centered and newborn-centered models of birth.
