Climate Chaos Disrupts Antenatal Care

A new study in Western Kenya found that extreme weather conditions are severely impacting women's access to essential healthcare services, particularly antenatal care. The research revealed that prolonged droughts, floods, and rising temperatures are not only destroying homes and livelihoods, but also making it difficult for women to reach healthcare facilities. The study's findings highlight the urgent need for climate-resilient healthcare policies that prioritize the voices and needs of vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, to ensure they continue to receive the care they need despite the growing threat of climate change.
