Prevention is better than a cure: Investing in water, sanitation and hygiene in health centers could halve maternal infections and deaths for just $1 per capita, less than the cost of treating sepsis. #WorldPatientSafetyDay

On August 26, following a glacial flooding disaster near the Nepal-Tibet border water, sanitation and hygiene facilities have been wiped away and those remaining are at risk of flood contamination. Vital infrastructures have been destroyed leaving many survivors stranded. #Nepal

@the-independent.com covers our research, women in Africa are nearly 150× more likely to die from maternal sepsis than in Europe, often due to lack of clean water. Sir Stephen Fry backs the campaign: “its aims are achievable — and when achieved will have the most dazzlingly marvellous impact.”
