Obstetrics and gynecology devices designed for low‐ and middle‐income countries: A narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 71-80, April 2025.
Abstract There are many barriers contributing to poor health outcomes for women in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), one of which is the lack of necessary medical devices. Presently, the development of various kinds of devices intended to improve women's health outcomes specifically in LMICs remains underrepresented in the literature; therefore,
