Healthy [replace with] Mothers and Children : a public health issue

[replace with]
[replace with]

Each year [replace with] more than half a million mothers die in childbirth. At the [replace with] same time almost 11 million children under the age of five die [replace with] from a handful of preventable and treatable conditions. Nearly [replace with] all these deaths occur in low and middle income countries - [replace with] and mainly amongst the poorest of the poor in these countries. [replace with] Most could be prevented using existing knowledge and [replace with] affordable tools. The slogan for World Health Day 2005 "Make [replace with] Every Mother and Child Count" reflects the reality that today, [replace with] governments and the international community need to make the [replace with] health of women and children a higher priority.
[replace with]
[replace with] 2005 is a critical year for maternal, newborn, and child [replace with] health, as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review will [replace with] take place this September. In establishing the Millennium [replace with] Development Goals five years ago, the international community [replace with] made a commitment to reduce maternal deaths by three quarters, [replace with] and reduce child mortality by two thirds by the year 2015.
[replace with]
[replace with] The reality today is that the health of women and children are [replace with] not a high enough priority for many governments and the [replace with] international community. This year's World Health Day provides [replace with] a unique opportunity not just to highlight the magnitude of [replace with] the problem, but also to bring various stakeholders together [replace with] to reflect and act on workable solutions.

"Making [replace with] the world safe for mothers, means making the world safe [replace with] for all women."  (UNFPA). Every minute a woman dies [replace with] somewhere in the world from complications related to [replace with] pregnancy or childbirth. That's more than 500,000 [replace with] preventable deaths each year. It's the number one cause of [replace with] death worldwide for women of reproductive age.

[replace with]

[replace with] Most at Risk
[replace with] 99% of maternal deaths occur in the developing world. In [replace with] Sub-Saharan Africa 1 out of every 16 women will face the [replace with] risk of maternal death in her lifetime. In developed [replace with] countries, like Canada, only 1 out of every 2,800 women [replace with] will face the same risk. (WHO)
[replace with]
[replace with] A Social Injustice
[replace with] It is a social injustice for a woman to die from pregnancy [replace with] or childbirth. Everyone has the right to quality [replace with] reproductive health services. Women have the right to make [replace with] their own reproductive choices.. In developing countries, [replace with] basic maternal and newborn care can cost as little as US [replace with] $3 per person per year.

[replace with] 		[replace with]   [replace with]

[replace with] A person that counts                [replace with]
[replace with] The presence of a skilled attendant --doctor, midwife, or [replace with] nurse-- during a woman's pregnancy and birth is the single [replace with] most important factor in her health. Half of women in [replace with] developing countries give birth without a skilled [replace with] attendant. [replace with]

[replace with]            [replace with] [replace with]

[replace with] Maternal death affects us all
[replace with] An estimated one million children are left motherless as a [replace with] result of maternal death each year.These children are ten [replace with] times more likely to die in childhood than children whose [replace with] mothers have not died. (WHO)

[replace with] [replace with] Maternal and child [replace with] mortality/morbidity rates in Bangladesh are relatively [replace with] high. Social and cultural beliefs and practices [replace with] regarding motherhood and childrearing have significant [replace with] influence on maternal/child health. Also, utilization [replace with] of available health care resources by women is [replace with] relatively low. The situation is most severe in rural [replace with] areas where women are largely illiterate and suffer [replace with] from structural as well as sociocultural barriers to [replace with] accessing health services.....
