Meet 3 moms benefiting from our work in maternal health

Every year, 358,000 women die during pregnancy and childbirth. That’s over 800 women every day. 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries and the majority of them are preventable. But access to quality health care can save the lives of thousands of mothers and babies every year.

Plan’s work to improve the health of mothers and their babies has impacted thousands of women in hard-to-reach communities across 7 countries – Ghana, Mali, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Bolivia. Projects in maternal and newborn health include:

• Training health care workers
• Improving health care services offered to mothers before and after childbirth
• Helping mothers access health care
• Ensuring mothers and babies have access to nutritious food
• Providing crucial vaccinations, medication and appropriate treatment.
