Maternal health
As a result of the services we provided in 2010, it is estimated that 4.8 million unintended pregnancies, 13,000 maternal deaths and 1.3 million unsafe abortions will be prevented.
We work to reduce the number of maternal deaths by providing comprehensive maternal and child health services, including:
- antenatal care
- obstetric care
- post natal care
We provide high-quality maternal & child health services in countries ranging from Bangladesh, Kenya, and Madagascar through to Sierra Leone and Tanzania.

We are involved in a number of research activities aimed at directly and indirectly improving maternal health in the countries it works in.
