New research powered by WorldPop open data reveals 63M women across 34 African countries will miss all essential maternal care by 2025.

Using 1km² geospatial modelling and building footprint data, the VeriXiv preprint exposes stark inequalities - from 5% in #Malawi to 74% in #Chad - and highlights a largely invisible priority population.
