Every two minutes, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. That's nearly 800 women a day, the vast majority of them in developing countries.
Most of these deaths are preventable.
With the right tools and resources, conditions like severe bleeding (obstetric hemorrhage) and pregnancy-induced high blood pressure (preeclampsia/eclampsia) become treatable complications – not death sentences.
Women are the cornerstone of a healthy and prosperous world. When a mother survives pregnancy and childbirth, her family, community, and nation thrive.
