Women's Health and Maternal Mortality

Many women across the world give birth without medical assistance, massively increasing the risk of complications or death. Every day, approximately 800 women die of preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Ninety nine percent of these deaths are in developing countries. The majority are preventable with appropriate care.   

Around the world, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams are working to protect the health of mothers and children. In a conflict or a crisis, pregnant women are even more vulnerable because health services have collapsed, are inadequate, or non-existent. But these women need access to quality emergency obstetric care whether they live in a conflict zone, in a refugee camp, or under plastic sheeting after a devastating earthquake.
