In less than the time it takes to drink your next coffee …
another mother will die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications. That’s one woman every 2 minutes or the equivalent of two 747 passenger planes crashing every day … and that’s hard to imagine.
For every woman who dies of pregnancy-related causes, another 20-30 others experience acute or chronic morbidity, often with permanent injury, disease or conditions that undermine their ability to live a normal life.
