The article discusses the rising rates of twin births worldwide, particularly in low-income countries like Nigeria, where healthcare access is limited. With more twins being born, especially in regions with high mortality rates, ensuring their survival becomes critical. Susie Lee from the Max Planck Institute emphasizes the need for better healthcare to secure safe pregnancies for twins, highlighting the risks involved. As fertility in higher-income countries often involves medically assisted reproduction, the disparities in access to healthcare for twins remain a pressing issue in poorer regions.
In low-income countries, an increasing number of twins are being born, but many mothers lack access to vital healthcare, risking the lives of both mothers and children.
The study co-authored by Susie Lee highlights the urgent need to enhance healthcare access for expectant mothers of twins, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
