| Résumé : |
According to Trends in maternal mortality (World Health Organization (WHO) 2019), infection remains the second highest cause of maternal mortality, although there has been a drop of 38 per cent worldwide, with 94 per cent of maternal deaths recorded in low- and middle- income countries.
As midwives care for pregnant women, for women who have just given birth, and for their newborn – all of whom are more susceptible to acquiring, infections – it is recommended that midwives take the necessary precautions when providing care, regardless of the mother’s infection status (Johnson & Taylor 2016). As is currently being experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic, adhering to the ‘standard precaution’ is the most effective method of reducing infection transmission. |
