Maternity morality was high throughout history, but recently, it has been dropping. The reason for this decline is due to public health, sanitation, and medicine. Some developed countries, however, have been seeing an increase in this trend. Around the world, about 700 women die due to giving birth or complications before or after giving birth. Most of these deaths can be avoided with proper healthcare. In many poorer countries, the risk is greater as hospitals and doctors are harder to reach. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have been working to improve these rates by enhancing health care for pregnant women. The United Nations has made reducing maternal mortality a goal and has been making improvements, such as supporting training for more nurses and doctors, sending more health care to areas with crises, and building safer clinics. Adding on, the UN has helped countries that have damaged health systems, like Ukraine, create cleaner environments and support pregnant women’s access to healthcare.
Maternity Morality is a significant issue in Ukraine, especially because of the war that has damaged many hospitals and access to healthcare for many citizens. The government has been working to keep hospitals open, provide medical supplies, and train doctors and nurses. Globally, Ukraine collaborates with the United Nations and other countries to get emergency help, mobile clinics, and care for pregnant women during these times of crisis. Ukraine supports global agreements that emphasize the importance of healthcare for women, especially pregnant women. Government leaders have said that keeping mothers safe is crucial. Working with other countries and organizations has helped Ukraine try to make childbirth safer and improve health for all mothers.
Overall, Ukraine believes that everyone should work together to protect mothers and infants, particularly in war or crisis areas. Significant progress has been made with hospitals, doctors, and clinics, but more assistance is necessary for women in remote areas. Ukraine recommends providing more medical supplies, trained health workers like doctors and nurses, and education for pregnant women. If countries unite on this issue, every woman can experience a safe pregnancy and childbirth.
