Spanish to English: Midwives' Voices
Source text - Spanish The past 25 years has seen significant progress in the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. Although the global maternal mortality ratio has dropped by 44%, from an estimated 385 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births in 1990 to 216 per 100 000 in 2015, a staggering 303 000 women are estimated to have died while giving birth in 2015. Ninety-nine per cent of these preventable maternal deaths occur in low- and middle- income countries.8 Similarly, although the global neonatal mortality rate fell from 36 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990 to 19 in 2015, 2.7 million newborns continue to die each year.9 The UN Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health10 (adopted as part of the new Sustainable Development Goals for 2016–30) highlights the urgent need for further progress to be made, and for this to be based on gender responsive, equity driven and rights based approaches.
The WHO Strategies towards Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM) place increased emphasis on addressing quality of care.11 Considerable evidence exists to demonstrate the positive impact of skilled birth attendance12 on maternal and newborn health outcomes.13 A critical lesson learnt has been that it is not just the number of skilled birth attendants (SBAs) needed (i.e. how many persons with, at minimum, the competencies of a trained midwife), but also the quality of care that matters.14
Translation - English En los últimos 25 años se han registrado avances significativos en la reducción de la morbimortalidad materna y neonatal. Aunque la tasa mundial de mortalidad materna ha disminuido en un 44% de un estimado de 385 muertes maternas por cada 100,000 nacidos vivos en 1990, a 216 por 100.000 en 2015, se estima que 303 000 mujeres murieron durante el parto en el año 2015. Noventa y nueve por ciento de estas muertes prevenibles ocurren en países de bajos y medianos ingresos.8 De manera similar, aunque la tasa global de mortalidad neonatal cayó de 36 muertes por cada 1,000 nacidos vivos en 1990 a 19 en 2015, 2.7 millones de recién nacidos continúan muriendo cada uno año.9 La Estrategia Global de las Naciones Unidas para la Salud de las Mujeres, Niños y Adolescentes10 (adoptada como parte de los nuevos Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible para 2016-30) destaca la necesidad urgente de seguir avanzando, con una perspectiva de género impulsada por la equidad y con un enfoque basado en los derechos.
Las estrategias de la OMS para Eliminar la Mortalidad Materna Prevenible (EMMP) hacen mayor énfasis en abordar la calidad de la atención.11 Existe evidencia considerable respecto al impacto positivo de la asistencia calificada en el parto12 sobre los resultados de salud materna y neonatal.13 Una lección crítica aprendida ha sido que dicho impacto no solo se relaciona con la cantidad de parteras capacitadas (SBA por sus siglas en inglés) necesarias (es decir, cuántas personas tienen, como mínimo, las competencias de una partera capacitada), sino con la calidad de la atención14 como el aspecto más importante.
