#Bangladesh has a maternal mortality rate of 320. #Canada's is 12. The difference? Proper #medicalcare during #pregnancy. #closethegap

[Maternity Matters @MatMattersMGA]

In 2007, 90% of babies in Bangladesh were delivered at home. Only 13% of all births had a medical professional present. Why do it alone?

Thanks for the Twitter love this week @IAEForum @LaerdalGH @sophiesagefemme @BackSocialMedia @MatMattersMGA @AMREF_UK @daviskris10

[Maternity Matters @MatMattersMGA]

One reason for high #maternalmortality rates in Bangladesh: 9/10 deliveries take place at home, most with unskilled attendants assisting.

[Maternity Matters @MatMattersMGA]

#Bangladesh has one of the world’s highest rates of adolescent motherhood - One in three teenage girls in Bangladesh is already a mother.

[Maternity Matters @MatMattersMGA]

Bangladesh has a high maternal mortality ratio, with 320 deaths per 100,000 births. Timely health interventions can help to prevent this.
