~287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020, yet most maternal deaths could have been prevented. Almost 95% occurred in low and lower middle-income countries. The high number of maternal deaths in some areas of the world reflects inequalities in access to quality health services, according to the World Health Organization. All women deserve access to high-quality care in pregnancy, and during and after childbirth, as timely treatment can make a difference. #InternationalDayforMaternalHealthandRights #IntlMHRDay #MaternalHealth #BMHW24
