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

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

Maternal and child Health is of utmost importance. Its startling to know that more than half a million women die in pregnancy and childbirth every year -
that’s one death every minute.

Women who are over weight and want to lose weight as quickly as possible without enduring the risks associated with invasive surgeries should consider hCG weight loss as an alternative. The injections are done with a fine needle and cause virtually no pain, and the results can achieve with hCG weight loss are significant and dramatic. Most women report losses of at least up to one pound per day without feeling tired or hungry, and as the weight loss continues, it becomes easier and easier to stretch more, eat less, and make significant changes to your lifestyle that promote continued health.

Natural herbs have treated so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't treat. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were treated of Herpes, HPV HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics , Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Stomach infections, Chronic pains. etc. by powerful natural herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike treated me with his natural herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were treated too believe it or not, but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying powerful natural herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App number . +233502715551. or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
