Hi A Celebration of Women! No matter who you are or where you live, a mother is vitally important. Your mother not only gives you life, she provides for you, cares for you when you’re sick and loves you unconditionally. But more than half a million babies will lose their mothers this year needlessly from poor maternal health care.

When it comes to maternal health care the little things matter, especially for women in the developing world, where gender discrimination and weak health systems often leave them hanging out to dry. The difference between life and death can be as simple as access to contraception or availability of medications and health care professionals who know how to
administer them.500 million women die every year. Maternal mortality is nothing short of an epidemic. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
We have the resources to save millions of mothers — we just need to make sure moms get what they need.Support better maternal health care: Pledge to make all mothers matter »
