Happy #MothersDay!

We celebrate all mothers out there who brought new lives into this world.
Improving maternal & child health is a WHO priority, today and every day.
Every day, approximately more than 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth bit.ly/2LeQt5D

#MothersDay
Preventing deaths and complications from preterm birth starts with a healthy pregnancy.

#MothersDay
30 million women do not give birth in a health facility.
45 million women receive inadequate or no antenatal care.

Upwards arrow put both mother and baby at much greater risk of complications and death.
