Giving birth to her child should be one of the happiest moments in her life … if she survives it. Every 90 seconds a woman dies from complications related to childbirth, pregnancy or unsafe abortion; 99% of these deaths happen in developing countries, and for every woman who dies in childbirth another 20 to 50 suffer from devastating injuries such as obstetric fistula. EngenderHealth’s approach to maternal health is holistic, addressing women’s sexual and reproductive health needs throughout their lives
