Introduction: A Universal Right Childbirth is one of the most transformative moments in a woman’s life, but for many women in Ethiopia, this experience is marred by neglect, mistreatment, and the absence of dignity. Despite efforts to improve maternal health, only 32% of births in Ethiopia are attended by skilled professionals, according to the 2022 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). This stark reality underscores the urgent need for respectful maternity care (RMC)—care that honors women’s autonomy, safety, and dignity during childbirth.

Quality Sleep: A Cornerstone of Health and Well-being
Sleep is a fundamental pillar of health and well-being, often overlooked in our fast-paced, modern lives.

From Ancient Rituals to Modern Science
I’ve always been fascinated by hypnosis, and as a writer, I’ve often wondered: Can hypnosis actually make me a better writer? The idea that someone, just by using their voice, could guide my brain into a focused, creative state is, to say the least, tempting. Especially during those moments when I’m stuck halfway through chapter five, staring at a blank screen that stubbornly refuses to fill itself. Maybe hypnosis could give me that little push I need – to overcome writer’s block or tap into the ideas buried deep in my subconscious.
