Safe pregnancy and birth should be a basic human right. But around the world hundreds of thousands of women die every year from the lack of adequate medical and maternal care. That’s one woman dying nearly every minute of every day. »
But in Ayacucho, Peru, community leaders, local women and health care providers came together worked to improve access to maternal health services. The result?
They cut maternal deaths in half.
We don’t have to sit back and watch women lose their lives from preventable illness and medical complications.
We can stop this crisis by giving women access to life-saving medical care. »
Women aren’t dying because the health community doesn’t know how to prevent their deaths; they are dying because the world is failing to help.
