Improving maternal health

Many people consider the day their child was born the happiest day in their life. In the world's wealthier countries, that is. In poorer countries, the day a child born is all too often the day its mother dies. In high-fertility countries in sub-Saharan Africa, women have a one in 16 chance of dying in childbirth. In low-fertility countries in Europe, this number is one in 2,000 and in North America it's one in 3,500. Source: End poverty 2015

* Reducing maternal mortality (unfpa.org)

The direct causes of maternal deaths are the same all over the world. The majority of maternal deaths are the direct result of complications arising during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum: postpartum haemorrhage, sepsis, complications of unsafe abortion, prolonged or obstructed labour and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy especially eclampsia. Because these complications occur at any time during pregnancy or childbirth without forewarning, timely access to and use of quality obstetric services is essential. Source: unfpa.org
