Maternal Health In the World Today

Maternal Health

Despite the global reduction, a woman dies every minute in the world’s poorest countries as a result of complications during pregnancy or childbirth (half a million women a year).

Alongside them there are ten million more who suffer injuries, infections and other complications associated with pregnancy.

The United Nations reports indicate that sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia account for 85% of maternal deaths worldwide.

For all developing countries, there are 450 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with 14 occurring in developed countries.

Health interventions in childbirth or during pregnancy have also increased in all regions, showing that they can reduce maternal mortality, but but its availability has to be larger in order to reach the target for 2015.
