Maternal health continues todecline while the rest of the world improves, despite being one of Africa’s biggestoil exporters10.Women can choose their hospital, two prenatal checkups are provided freeof charge, and there are free childbirth classes available to all. The maternalmortality rate is a low 1 in 16,666.11.Pregnant mothers are not expected to work during the last six weeksof their pregnancy. Moms benefit from four months maternity leave, andemployers are required to provide for at least three months of pay. The maternalmortality rate is 1 in 11,100.12.The average infant mortality rates have reduced substantially, decreasing by5.5 percent a year in the 1980s and 1990s, and by 4.4 percent a year since2000. But the rate is still high at 1 in 1,724 due to the unequal distribution of wealth inthis booming South American country.13.the world.14.This is the world’s largest democracy, but women have a 1 in 185 chance ofdying in childbirth in this highly populated country — one of the worst rates inIn 2010, the country was rated the safest place to have a baby, with just fivematernal deaths per 100,000 births (1 in 20,000). Maternal health care is free,and families do not have to pay for prenatal visits for the hospital birth. Moms also benefitfrom 22 weeks of paid leave from work.15.Every hour four women die of complications due to pregnancy and labor,and for every woman who dies, 20 to 30 have serious complications in thisconflict-ridden African country. The maternal mortality rate is 1 in 90.16.One woman dies for every 384 who give birth. Malnutrition affects 34 percentof pregnant women, and 45 percent of women suffer from iron deficienciesthat result in stillbirths, birth defects, and infant deaths. Ongoing wars in the region andstrict religious cultural traditions also impact women’s maternal health.17.One in 1,176 women dies in childbirth, a ratio that is almost five times higherthan its super-power neighbor. Women in poorer states of the country faceeven greater risks in pregnancy — the maternal mortality ratio in the least developed regionof the country almost double the national average.
HALF THE SKY: MATERNAL MORTALITYStudent Handout C:Somaliland in ContextIt is dangerous to be a pregnant woman in Somaliland.Somaliland is a semi-desert territory in East Africa on the coast of the Gulf of Aden. Itdeclared independence from Somalia after the overthrow of Somali military dictator, SiadBarre, in 1991. Since then, the territory has lobbied hard to win support for its claim to bea sovereign state, but had still not received official international recognition. Despite this,Somaliland has a working political system, government institutions, a police force, and itsown currency, but it suffers from widespread poverty and unemployment.The health of the people of Somaliland is among the worst in Africa, with one ofthe highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world. Childbirth brings with itserious risks, including lack of access to trained health professionals and high rates ofmalnutrition, all of which increase the chances of complications before and during labor.Because it is not an officially recognized independent state, international aid donors havefound it difficult to provide much-needed support and resources, such as maternal healthservices and funds for training and supplies.While rates of maternal mortality are among the highest in the world, they have begun todecline. In 1997, 16 women would die for every 1,000 live births, but by 2006 that ratehad gone down to approximately 10 per 1,000 births. This improvement is due in part tothe work of Edna Adan Ismail, Somaliland’s first certified nurse-midwife, and the traininghospital she founded in the country’s capital, Hargeisa.
