The complications leading to a maternal death can occur without warning at any time during pregnancy and childbirth. And for every woman who dies in impoverished circumstances, approximately 20 more suffer injuries, infection and disabilities. Most maternal deaths can be prevented if births are attended by skilled health personnel – doctors, nurses and midwives – who are regularly supervised and have the proper equipment and supplies.
