What is it?
(Pohly, 2016)
It is the healthy well-being of both mother and child. It is ensuring the child is as healthy as humanly possible while the mother is with-child. It is maternal love, with carefully made decisions throughout the gestational period.
– Renelyn Cruz
“The risk of a woman in a low income country dying from a maternal-related cause during her lifetime is about 130 times higher compared to a woman living in a high income country” (WHO, 2019).
