Maternal mortality globally is “shamefully and unacceptably high.” In 2020, approximately 287,000 women died. Each day, an estimated 800 women die, every two minutes from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.
The deaths of infants are even more staggering. In 2022, 2.3 million children died in the first 20 days of life. There are approximately 6500 newborn deaths every day, amounting to 47% of all child deaths under the age of 5 years , as stated in a March 2024 report on newborn mortality, from the World Health Organization(WHO).
In the U.S., nationwide, between 2018 - 2021, 1,725 Black and Hispanic women died during that same period 2018 and 2021, 39,792 Black and Hispanic infants died of preventable complications, related to pregnancy and childbirth, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)
The number of Infants, that die, are always higher, than the deaths of mothers, world-wide.
Please join in and we hope collectively we can bring about change.
