//A woman dies from complications in childbirth every minute – about 529,000 each year -- the vast majority of them in developing countries.//  //T//he women who survive giving birth in a poorly equiped hospital may be ok, however there can be many complications for the mother after birth. Almost half of births in developing countries take place without a skilled birth attendant. The mother may be badly scared, poorly nourished and/or loses her bowel and bladder control. She would be stinky to herself and to others. Also, she would probably be rejected by family and friends. If the mother is unhealthy, then the baby also suffers not having a mother who can feed and care for the baby properly. A woman in sub-Saharan Africa has a 1 in 16 chance of dying in pregnancy or childbirth, compared to a 1 in 4,000 risk in a developing country – the largest difference between poor and rich countries of any health indicator.
