Additional Information / Shotlist War and violence have ravaged Yemen for more than 10 years. As a result, the country's healthcare system has been severely weakened and it is unable to meet people’s basic health care needs.

In many cases, mothers have no choice but to give birth at home without medical care and without follow-up care, which endangers the lives of mothers and their newborns.

"In Yemen, midwives deliver lifesaving services, while supporting and empowering mothers, in a context where the healthcare system is on its knees, and people are facing a dire humanitarian crisis." says Ilaria Rasulo, MSF country director in Yemen.
