GOAL 5
Poor maternal health has taken so many lives because of improper care of during pregnancy and misconduct of child delivery.
By my research, Over 500,000 women die in pregnancy and child delivery annually in the global world, and 60% of them are young girls.
CAUSES
1. It is obvious that the number one cause is poverty. A poor pregnant woman cannot afford the cost of quality medical care, good food, and good environment and may die in her pregnancy.
2. Lack of knowledge: people perish for lack of knowledge. Ignorance can lead to death; a pregnant woman who does not know her left from her right can become a victim.
3. Malaria and other diseases: malaria is a disease caused by filthy environment and mosquito bite. A pregnant woman needs a clean environment to ensure good health.
4. Unavailability of adequate medical facilities: where there is inadequate medical facilities, a pregnant woman hardly survive.
5. Unavailability of professional medical staff: a pregnant woman can die in the hands of non professional staff.
6. Lack of sex and reproductive knowledge: some young pregnant women do not have the knowledge of stages of reproduction and therefore can die in fear.
SOLUTION
a) Government should cite or increase the number of health care center in various rural areas, because 60% of the affected women are from the rural areas. Some people travel from far distances to obtain medical care. This is not fair. Health centers should be spread all over the rural areas, so that people will not spend the little money they have in transportation before getting to the health care center. There should be fast access to maternal health services.
b) The health centers should be equipped with adequate medical facilities.
c) There should always be professional staff in the health centers to discharge quality services. Intermittent therapy should always be in store, and special provision should be made for the treatment of malaria in pregnancy.
d) Weekly or monthly teaching for pregnant women in rural areas, especially those who are conceiving for the first time. In my church, New Life Worship Center, we organize monthly teaching and prayers for pregnant women and women who are newly married; we have not recorded any bad news in pregnancy and delivery.
e) Provision should be made for poor pregnant women who cannot afford the cost of quality medical care, so that lives will be saved.
