IS called "Every Child Alive" and requires immediate investment in health care workers with the right training and with the right medications right to ensure that every mother and newborn is supported by a pair of expert hands to prevent and treat the complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and birth. "Too many mothers and babies are not assisted by a midwife or a nurse trained and with the appropriate tools, and the results are devastating," added Fore. "We can do so that millions of children survive their first day and will live in this decade, if each of them will be born in a couple of experienced hands".
