(LIVE CHAT) Experts from African and Asia discuss the state of maternal health

The UN Millennium Campaign and Women's eNews are hosting a live video chat to discuss the status of Millennium Development Goal #5, Maternal Health, today at 2pm GMT. You can join the chat here.

The number one killer of young women in the developing world is not a disease whose cure eludes us, or a condition which the world lacks the resources to treat. It is pregnancy and childbirth. Every year, 500,000 women die while trying to give life. That’s one every single minute.

On March 25, 2009 at 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time, Annie Raja, General Secretary of the National Federation of Indian Women, and Dr. Jemima A. Dennis-Antwi, the International Confederation of Midwives’ Regional Midwifery Adviser for Anglophone Africa, will share firsthand experiences from the front lines of the fight against maternal mortality, in a live chat moderated by Kimberly Seals Allers, Editorial Director of Women’s eNews’ Black Maternal Health series and founder of Mochamanual.com.

this is sad

I really thought the #1 cause of death in the developping countries was aids... You opened my eyes on how lucky we are in America. We don't have to even think about those kind of problems here, as our medical system, even if oh so expensive, gives appropriate treatment to young mothers and their babies.

We need to help those countries build an appropriate medical system so they can devellop correctly.

This event was a great initiative, and a step in the right direction, bravo.

Because the United States is

Because the United States is representative of most developed (industrialized) countries, and since so much data is available for the United States, I will begin by detailing information available from that country. Truly international statistics on exam 70-270 causes of death -- especially rates of death -- is not easy to come by. However, the World Health Organization does have some data (which may not be too accurate) from all its member countries from the mid-1990s as well as some more accurate data for 38 countries which are well developed enough to have reasonably good emc training statistics available. A list of those 38 countries can be found in the Appendix. The most common conventional causes of death in industrialized countries are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease and accident (cissp training). Alzheimer's victims usually die of pneumonia, a lung condition or a cerebrovascular condition -- so Alzheimer's victims are often declared to die of other causes.

Thought it was aids

I thought it was aids too or some other diseases like breast cancer or colon cancer. And now i know that giving birth is the number one cause of deaths of women in developing countries.. Vancouver Cash Advance Loans
