Despite Promise, Better Maternal Care Is Unrealized

Great piece in Women's E-news. Just read this short excerpt:

"The Women Deliver Initiative, which works to promote action on maternal and newborn health, estimates that 1 in 8 women die in childbirth in Afghanistan.

In the United States it's 1 in 4,800; in Sweden it's 1 in 20,000."


Can the US really still call itself a Superpower?!! This is shameful in a wealthy country.
