Authors: Save the Children
The focus of this report is on the critical shortage of health workers in the developing world and the urgent need for more female health workers to save the lives of mothers, newborn babies, and young children. This report identifies countries that have invested in training and deploying more female health workers, shows how these women are delivering lifesaving health care to some of the poorest and hardest-to-reach mothers and babies, and identifies strategies and approaches that are succeeding in the fight to save lives.
