Rationale
Ghana has an unacceptably high maternal mortality rate. The Ghana Maternal Health Survey, 2007 found that 451 women died for every 100,000 live births. In addition, statistics from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) also indicate that 953 women died in 2008 from pregnancy and delivery complications in our health facilities.
According to the WHO, at least one woman dies every minute from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth – that means 529 000 women a year. In addition, for every woman who dies in childbirth, around 20 more suffer injury, infection or disease – approximately 10 million women each year.
It is important that societal and cultural factors that impact women's health and their access to services be addressed. Pregnant women, and those intending to embark on that journey, need to be educated and empowered to enable them make informed decisions about their health.
Resolve Limited presents GRAVIDANZA 2011, 2ND PREGNANCY FAIR & SEMINARS. The objective of this event is to help reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by providing critical information and training to the midwife and the expectant mother.
