Dr. Natalia Kanem, Executive Director and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Population Fund, told the committee that one of the most affordable ways to prevent maternal deaths was to train and deploy midwives. She did specify, however, that there is currently a shortage of 900,000 midwives around the world.
In your opinion, is this part of the solutions the government of Canada should support to prevent maternity-related problems, especially in developing countries?
