What is Save the Mothers?
Save the
Mothers is a multidisciplinary program to reduce the numbers of mothers
dying from pregnancy complications. The program will train
professional champions from developing countries to improve mothers'
health. These champions will be from all spheres of works and
influence including policy makers, government officials, lawyers,
medical staff, media personnel, agriculturists and educators. Each
one will be able to initiate positive change within their area of
expertise in order to save mothers. Graduates will form an
organized network of committed individuals who will improve the health
of mothers. The reasons for mothers dying at such a high rate is
very complicated and requires a broad spectrum of individuals.
simply building more hospitals and clinics will not improve the health
of mothers - they need the capacity and understanding to seek help, the
transportation to get them there and the qualified staff and adequate
resources in order to treat them. |
