Geneva: According to a new report released by the World Health Organization, since 2015, progress in the reduction of deaths during pregnancy has stalled globally.
According to the report, every year 4.5 million mothers and babies die during pregnancy, childbirth or a week after birth. This number is equivalent to one death every seven seconds.
The United Nations agency said in a statement that the majority of deaths are preventable if proper care is available.
Dr. Anshu Banerjee from the World Health Organization said in a press release that unacceptably high rates of maternal and infant mortality continue around the world, and the Covid-19 outbreak has made it more difficult to meet their health needs. Problems have arisen.
Survival rates have not changed over the past eight years. According to the report, 290,000 women die every year from all complications of pregnancy, 1.9 million babies die during pregnancy (after 28 weeks of pregnancy) and 2.3 million newborns die. Babies die within a month of birth.
Dr. Anshu Banerjee said that if we want to see different results, we have to do things differently.
