Maternal deaths can be prevented

Rural women were the most affected, and many in the Sub Saharan region.

Even more shocking for Botswana, which is said to be doing badly, coming 44 out of 50 countries surveyed, the country has some of the most skilled manpower such as midwives. The observation is that some pregnant mothers are unable to travel to health facilities because of shortage of transport, making them miss Ante Natal Care as per schedule. The questions that arise from the mismatch of failure to save lives visa vis availability of skilled manpower should make us all wonder what it is we are doing wrong.
