A view on improving maternal health in sub-Saharan Africa

Submitted by Japheth Mati on 28 October, 2010 - 14:46

Going through pregnancy and childbirth safely should be the expectation of every woman. However, high levels of maternal deaths continue to plague many sub-Saharan African countries, where achievement of Millennium Development Goal 5 threatens to be an elusion. Yet, even though complications of pregnancy cannot always be prevented, deaths resulting from them can be averted if women received timely and appropriate skilled health care throughout the continuum of pregnancy and childbirth. This is possible with application of available knowledge of interventions that are effective in preventing death from complications of pregnancy and childbirth.

What is lacking, as argued in an essay entitled What’s in the way of achieving improved maternal health in Kenya?, is the commitment, at all levels, to act; to make the reduction of maternal mortality a high priority.

What’s your view?
