There are 1000 deaths per 100,00 live births in Somalia....
Among the top 5 highest maternal mortality rates in the world
Accessing safe maternity care is the universal rights of childbearing women!
With a civil war that caused long term instability in the governance in this east African nation, the public infrastructure for health and education have been neglected and depleted. Vital health care access and resources have been left to the private realm of medical care leaving the poor and disenfranchised women of Somalia in a vulnerable situation. Somalia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.
