Global maternal mortality — death from pregnancy or childbirth complications — is unacceptably high, despite mostly being preventable and treatable. Even in Canada, many questions about these cases remain unanswered as the healthcare system has no reliable way to collect and share data.
For Dolma Tsundu, the profound impacts of these complications were felt at a young age. As a child, she became aware that her own mother suffered painful complications during delivery. It left Tsundu wondering if her mother’s experience could have been prevented if she had access to tools that support womens’ reproductive health journeys.
