Childbirth: life-threatening risk for women in the developing world
• As of 2005, it is estimated that 536,000 women die yearly from causes related to pregnancy and birth.
– 99% of those deaths occur in the developing world
• Another 10–20 million women every year face severe health problems, such as obstetric fistula.

Safe motherhood related to women’s status

maternal mortality.
