Norwegian designers
created the devices with the aim of reducing the number of newborn babies and
mothers that die just after giving birth with a trio of affordable products aimed at helping
to save lives in countries where preventable birth-related deaths is
greatest as many midwives do not access to education or training.
The concept, which combines industrial design and education, was dreamed up by Laerdal Global Health in response to the shocking statistic that 3,000 newborn babies die from birth asphyxia along with 1,000 birthing mothers every day.

simulator to provide practical training in a bid to help reduce the number of
newborn babies and mothers that die just after giving birth - two of the UN's
Millennium Development Goals.
