Why is maternal health a Millennium Development Goal? Because healthy mothers are critical for families, communities, and countries. And yet, every minute of every day, a woman dies due to pregnancy or childbirth. That is more than 1400 dead every 24 hours -- more than 500,000 women a year. But change is possible. It is already happening.
