Laerdal Global Health will participate in the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this September, joining global leaders, partners, policymakers, and advocates to advance solutions that save lives and strengthen health systems.

Throughout the General Assembly, we will engage in discussions and events focused on improving maternal, newborn, and acute care outcomes, with a particular emphasis on accelerating progress in countries facing the greatest health challenges.

Your birthday shouldn't be the most dangerous day of your life

In too many countries, your birthday is still the most dangerous day of your life. Despite decades of progress, preventable maternal and newborn deaths remain a persistent challenge, raising an urgent question: what will it take to bend the curve?
