After Cyclone Giri struck Myanmar and uprooted 70,000 people – including 1000 pregnant women expected to require emergency obstetric care in the following months – UNFPA and the Myanmar Medical Association provided supplies needed by midwives to perform Caesarean sections. When severe flooding hit Pakistan in July and August, affecting more than 15 million people, including an estimated 1.5 million pregnant women, UNFPA deployed mobile service units equipped to provide emergency reproductive health services and provided thousands of clean delivery kits.
