As shown in the picture, a young Kosovar midwife gives milk to a baby with a syringe in 1999. The World Health Organization was sorry for the worldwide shortage of midwives, particularly in poorer countries. 61 percent of the world's births are attended by a qualified medical assistant. While more than 90 percent of birthing mothers have medical assistance in developed nations, only 37.5 percent of mothers in Asia and 33.6 percent in east Africa benefit from medical assistance during childbirth. The lack of qualified medical personnel in developing countries is due to a brain drain, according to Jean-Philippe Chauzy, spokesman for the International Migration Organization
