New videos on childbirth complications from Global Health Media Project

1 July, 2020

Dear all,

We are truly delighted to announce the release of eight new videos on managing childbirth complications. They were a challenge to film as they feature extraordinarily hard-to-source live footage of uncommon events. We needed to be in the right place at the right time! We spent a total of nine weeks filming in high-volume maternities in Nepal, Indonesia, Rwanda, and Ghana.

Some of the videos, such as breech and stuck shoulders also include some animation to visualize key steps to assist the birth of the baby.

The videos cover the management of twins, breech birth, stuck shoulders, cord around the neck, prolonged labor, severe pre-eclampsia, uterine infection, and the use of oxytocin to treat prolonged labor.

All the videos are available in English at this link: https://bit.ly/ghmpbirth <https://bit.ly/ghmpbirth>. Several are now available in French and Spanish with the rest to follow in the next week or so.

Kindest regards,

Deb
