India: Pregnancy Complications Kill One Woman Every Seven Minutes

pregnancy-complications_50
Notwithstanding the government’s goal of bringing the mortality rate below 100, nearly, 301 women in 100,000 births die each year due to ‘pregnancy-related complications’.

If we go statistically, we’ll find, one woman every seven minutes while giving birth, which corresponds to 77,000 deaths per year.

This is because of the derelict maternity services spread across the rural areas in the nation.

The report, which forwarded the details postulated, further that in spite of all the maternal health programs and improvement in primary health care system, very few states in the nation actually, is close to this desired figure.

India last month raised its federal annual outlay for health by 22% to 11.36 billion rupees (2.5 billion dollars) with special emphasis on the welfare of children and women as well as on efforts to contain the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Similarly, if state governments too raise their respective health budgets, maybe we might see some improvements in the health sector.
