Maternal health in developing countries is a very neglected subject. Each year, 500,000 women die from pregnancy and childbirth complications, with 98% of these deaths occurring in developing nations. Some of the main issues discussed in the document include maternal mortality being caused by hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and ruptured uterus. Problems like malnutrition in children and mothers can also lead to issues like anemia. The document advocates for increasing access to skilled healthcare workers and emergency obstetric care, as promoted by organizations like UNICEF, to help address maternal health problems in developing countries.

Maternal Death Presentation
Maternal mortality is a significant issue, with 600,000 pregnant women dying each year - one every minute. 98% of deaths occur in developing countries, with the majority in Asia and Africa. The main cause is hemorrhaging during or after childbirth. Only 34% of births in poor countries are attended by skilled healthcare professionals, increasing risks of delays in receiving proper care and treatment for issues during delivery. Improving access to skilled birth attendance and emergency healthcare can help address high maternal mortality rates in developing nations.

Maternal health in developing countries presentation
Maternal mortality is a significant issue in developing countries. Women die during pregnancy and childbirth at high rates, accounting for 99% of maternal deaths worldwide. Factors that contribute to maternal mortality include cultural attitudes, lack of access to health services, insufficient funding for maternal health programs, and social barriers. Women in developing nations often do not seek medical care during pregnancy and childbirth due to issues like low education levels, economic limitations, and cultural practices such as female circumcision that can increase birthing complications. Around 100,000 women undergo female circumcision annually, and unsafe abortions also lead to 60,000 to 1,000,000 deaths each year. Addressing this issue raises important ethical questions about giving women more autonomy over

Closing The Gender Health Gap by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala discusses the gender health gap and how it disproportionately impacts women in developing countries. She describes her own frightening experience with a pregnancy complication and emphasizes how many maternal and neonatal deaths could be prevented with basic interventions like antenatal care and skilled birth attendants. Okonjo-Iweala also highlights issues like cervical cancer, where the majority of deaths occur in poor nations due to lack of screening and treatment. She advocates for efforts to increase access to vaccines for diseases like HPV and potentially Zika virus to help reduce health burdens on women globally.
The right to health care by Alexis
The document discusses the importance of the right to medical care. It argues that medical care can save lives and is essential for everyone regardless of wealth. It provides examples of organizations like Kythe Foundation that help children with diseases access care, education, and feel safe in hospitals. However, over a billion people worldwide lack access to medical care due to issues like poverty and lack of resources in developing nations. Diseases like measles, cancer, and malnutrition greatly impact communities without healthcare access. The document emphasizes that everyone deserves the right to medical care.
Healthcare And Sustainability
The document discusses healthcare for a sustainable society. It defines a sustainable society and outlines the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) established in 2000 to combat issues like poverty, hunger, disease, and environmental degradation by 2015. The goals focus on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, improving health, education, gender equality, and the environment. Health is interdependent with and influences achieving all the MDGs. The document focuses on health-related MDGs and metrics to measure progress, and argues establishing a sustainable healthcare model requires commitment from governments, organizations, and communities.

Similar to Maternal Health in the Developing World
Maternal Health Care Availability In The Developing World
Maternal mortality rates are significantly higher in developing countries compared to industrialized nations, with 1 in 76 pregnancies in developing areas ending in death versus 1 in 8,000 in industrialized countries. One of the Millennium Development Goals aims to reduce maternal mortality by 75% by 2015 through improving access to family planning, antenatal care, and empowering women's control of their reproductive health. However, factors like cultural practices, travel times to hospitals, wait times to see doctors, and lack of healthcare resources limit access to care, especially in rural areas. While urban populations have closer proximity to care, poverty still prevents many urban women from receiving adequate maternal healthcare. Expanding healthcare resources and making care culturally acceptable and

Maternal mortality is a serious issue, with 600,000 pregnant women dying each year - one every minute. 98% of deaths occur in developing countries, with 60% in Asia and 30% in Africa. The main causes are hemorrhaging during or after childbirth and giving birth without a skilled birth attendant. Only 34% of deliveries occur with a skilled birth attendant in poor countries, with even lower rates in places like Ethiopia, Chad, and Niger. Delays in recognizing and treating complications and delays in transfers to proper medical care often result from a lack of financial resources and poor access to healthcare.

Argon Presentation
Women between the ages of 15-24, especially in developing countries, are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Lack of adequate food and nutrition weakens the immune system and increases susceptibility to infection, making treatment less effective. Africa accounts for about 60% of global HIV cases, predominantly in Sub-Saharan countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa. Women are more vulnerable to contracting HIV due to lack of sexual health education and biological factors. Ensuring access to sufficient nutrition is essential for HIV treatment to be effective and allow women to lead productive lives.

Abstract
Maternal, infant health is very essential for the progress of any country since they form the pillar of our future generations. United States has made significant strides towards securing the maternal and child health through various initiatives and programs within the country and around the globe. Despite the existence of health care initiatives to promote maternal, infant and child health, maternal and infant mortalities are still recorded on a daily basis in the U.S. Risk factors to maternal, infant and child mortalities include poor and a lack of a antenatal care attendance, unskilled birth attendants,ce and childhood illnesses. More than a quarter of every single maternal mortality is because of postpartum hemorrhaginge, for the most part after labor.
Infant mortality is another prevalent case that contributes to the worsening situation in child and maternal health, because of untimely births represent more than a quarter of infant mortalities, trailed by mortalities during births and neonatal sepsis. Maternal and child health (MCH) programs concentrate on medical problems concerning related to mothers, children, and families – such as , for example, access to suitable pre-natal and child welfare services, baby mortality mitigation initiatives, emergency medical services, prevention of injuries, infant screening, and administrations to kidschildren children with unique health care needs. The United States is working to prevent maternal deaths, infant mortalities, and child mortalities, and to reduce the prevalence of these incidences. It calls for a multidisciplinary approach in order to eliminate this issue affecting the mothers and children. Reinforcing referral systems and linkages between various levels of hospital-based patient care, and between healthcare organizations providers and the general population, must be a top needpriority.

Africa matters
The document discusses maternal and child health challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. It provides background information on Africa and outlines the problem statement of high rates of maternal and child mortality. Over 289,000 women died in 2013 due to pregnancy complications and 6.3 million children under age 5 died. The main contributing factors are discussed as poor health infrastructure, lack of access to services, and infectious diseases. The document also summarizes global actions taken like the Millennium Development Goals and progress made with a 45% reduction in maternal deaths and 49% reduction in under-5 mortality, though rates remain high in Sub-Saharan Africa. It concludes with an update on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Reproductive rights and health
This document discusses reproductive health and rights issues in Pakistan. It begins by presenting background on increasing maternal and infant death rates in Pakistan due to lack of sex education, early marriages, and lack of family planning. It then defines key terms like reproductive health, reproductive rights, and discusses international recognition of these issues. Several pages are dedicated to explaining different modern contraception methods, their effectiveness, and benefits. Barriers to reproductive healthcare in Pakistan like poverty, lack of information and cultural beliefs are outlined.
