WHO Press Conference
Press Conference Announcement
WHO is publishing new recommendations to establish global care standards for healthy pregnant women and reduce unnecessary medical interventions. Worldwide, an estimated 140 million births take place every year – the majority occurring without complications for women and their babies. Yet, over the past 20 years, the health sector has increased the number of interventions once only used to avoid risks or treat complications.
