Preferred term
maternal mortality and morbidity
Definition
- POVERTY AND THE RISK OF maternal morbidity and mortality are explicably linked. As noted by A. Germain, “one of the greatest disparities between rich and poor countries and, often, rich and poor people, is in maternal mortality.” Where countries have (and are willing) to spend the money in developing and maintaining effective environmental and healthcare systems, women's risk of becoming ill or dying during pregnancy declines.
