It's really risky for a mother to undergo delivery of her kid. Like what any other mother said, they have a 50-50 ratio of their lives whenever they give birth to their children. Hopefully, the government provide enough budget for this kind of need of mothers.Steven from school grants
Wonderful initiative!
Is great to see that this issue is finally being taken seriously & that action is happening to raise awareness. For Sierra Leone the children really are the future & we should be working together to ensure the health of their mothers at all stages of their pregnancy & childbirth. This should be done in a manner that upholds human rights including free health care which in some areas is occuring.

it is so abhorrent that in the year 2010, five years away from the dubious achievement of the millenium goals, that one eighth of women in sierra leone are still dying in child birth. This is not only shocking and horrific, but is a severe wake up call that something must be done to prevent maternal mortality in the developing world.
Women living in remote area in Peru should also have the right to maternal health.
They should not suffer from discrimination and other human rights violations which could affect their right to maternal health.
The medical profession in Nicaragua should not have to function in this atmosphere of fear, which denies pregnant women much needed healthcare! The total ban on abortion should be lifted!
