Every year in Sub-Saharan Africa, 280.000 mothers die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth, 1,5 million African children are left without a mother. A mother’s death is a human tragedy, affecting families and communities. Her death endangers the lives of a surviving newborn and any other young children. A great many of these deaths are preventable, when women have access to quality prevention, diagnostic, and treatment services.
