Village Health Partnership
Every day worldwide, women die from preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries where deep poverty prevents women from seeking, reaching, and receiving medical care. In the isolated areas of rural Ethiopia, the majority of women deliver alone at home without skilled medical assistance.
As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that Ethiopia has one of the highest maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the world. What’s more, without access to medical care, women who survive delivery in these rural areas are often left with debilitating complications that destroy the quality of their lives and result in in social ostracism, depression, and economic hardship.
