Description
INTRODUCTION All pregnant women, even healthy ones, face some risk of complications that can result in death or serious disabilities if not effectively managed. Each year, an estimated 529,000 women die from pregnancy-related causes, with most cases occurring in developing countries of Africa and Asia (1). Yet, the deaths are only a tip of the iceberg; for every death, at least 30 women suffer serious illness or debilitating injuries (2). In many sub-Saharan African countries, many women receive no medical care before, during or after childbirth. Even deliveries in health facilities can be risky due to poor quality of obstetric care. The same pregnancy-related complications that threaten women's survival can also cause death and disability in newborns, while the same health assistance that would save women's lives could also prevent suffering on the part of women who survive and also their newborn babies.
