NY Times article entitled "Where Life's Start is a Deadly Risk." Pregnancy and childbirth kill half a million women each year around the world, but half of those deaths occur in Africa. Most of these births would be preventable, however, there is a severe shortage of medical staff and equipment. What do you think a feasible solution might be? How does a country with limited resources find the financial and governmental support to create programs to help these women? Would birthing kits such as this one help?
