Every year, nearly half a million women die and untold numbers suffer temporary or long-term disabilities from preventable pregnancy-related causes. Many maternal health advocates focus only on maternity care-antenatal care, skilled attendance at delivery, and emergency obstetric services. These are clearly critical services, but maternity care is just one element of the comprehensive sexual and reproductive rights and health package.
Our resources on maternal health emphasize the comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services, and include articles and factsheets that lay the foundation for improving policy and health systems.
