A brief about the IRC's research on referral pathways for maternal and newborn health in Nigeria

Conflict and crises weaken health systems, deplete essential health resources, and consequently lead to staggeringly high rates of maternal and newborn mortality. Pregnancy and childbirth do not stop in times of crisis, and neither should access to high-quality, life-saving care. Many of these deaths can be prevented with accessible and cost-effective interventions, yet these often remain under resourced and underdelivered in humanitarian settings, where heath systems are disrupted, and human resources are insufficient.
