About 260,000 women and 2.3 million newborns die each year from largely preventable causes around pregnancy and childbirth, concentrated in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Cheap, evidence-backed interventions exist, but the space is comparatively crowded with major funders.

Each year hundreds of thousands of women and millions of newborns die from largely preventable causes around childbirth, overwhelmingly in low- and lower-middle-income countries. This founding report documents the burden, surveys the cheap and proven interventions, and frankly assesses why — despite high tractability — this comparatively crowded area still leaves a meaningful gap to close.
