A call for all maternal death records to be unified into a single database and for increased transparency around these tragedies was made at an event in Dublin.

The brother of a woman who died after giving birth in Cork in 2021 attended the event, which focused on how a law making maternal inquests mandatory is being implemented. Romuald Chainey said Géraldine Yankeu was a great person and little sister.
