To make childbirth safer, developing countries need new, self-sustaining infrastructures and partnerships involving both medical and non-medical professionals, such as lawyers, journalists, politicians and educators.

Such infrastructures will lead to changes in attitudes and result in women having better access to basic maternal services and medicine. When attitudes change and women are valued more, then lasting change will occur from the inside – from the grassroots level.

This is what Save the Mothers is all about.
