Description

Maternity Foundation is a Danish development organization that aims to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in developing countries. With our vision, “No women should die giving life,” the Foundation works to empower and mobilize women to seek care and empower and train health practitioners, so that more women give birth with skilled birth attendants. In collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen, Maternity Foundation created the Safe Delivery App, a smartphone application that provides skilled birth attendants with direct and instant access to evidence-based and up-to-date clinical guidelines on basic emergency obstetric and neonatal care.
