I tried following some hashtags today but these communities are just developing. Here’s some of my interests. I am into all things pregnancy related especially breastfeeding and I want to reduce health disparities and improve morbidity and mortality! ❤️

@auscandoc I agree this isn’t good but neither is a poorly staffed maternity service without the necessary resources - maternity theatres, scrub staff, obstetricians, Anaesthetists & midwives all of whom are practicing regularly, fully trained and experienced. Not to mention on-site blood bank & all their staff & oh I nearly forgot neonates! What compromises can be made?
