Maternal Health

The other day in class we watched a film about maternal health called “Saving Haiti Mother’s”. It was about how giving birth in Haiti is dangerous and the morality rate for mothers is very high, even though it is not a concern in developed countries. I did not know this before, as it is not talked about very much. I know about the problem of Aids or orphan children in places like Haiti, but I did not know about the problem of maternal health before I watched with video. Having a global maternal health day, a fundraising competition, or an educational benefit are all things we can do to help these people and get people aware of the problem. It is a major concern as if mothers die than the older girls in the family have to take over the mothering role. Unfortunately people are not aware of this. The link: http://www.one.org/c/international/issue/951/?gclid=CJ6zpJq79asCFSOAgwodImqt3g gives more information about maternal health and the link: http://www.mamababyhaiti.org/donate/ is a website that gives information about how to donate to maternal health.
