Maternal mortality continues to be a global concern, particularly in developing and rural areas where access to quality maternal health care services is limited. Despite advancements in medical technology and improved clinical practices, many women continue to face significant risks during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
In rural communities, in particular, the lack of healthcare infrastructure and resources often exacerbates the challenges faced by expectant mothers, leading to preventable maternal deaths.
Recognizing the urgency of addressing this issue, various stakeholders have underscored the need to expand maternal health care services and prioritize education on maternal health. This includes improving access to prenatal care, skilled birthing attendants, emergency obstetric care, and family planning services.
Moreover, raising awareness about the importance of maternal health and promoting education on safe motherhood practices are essential components of reducing maternal mortality and improving overall maternal well-being.
