Another 7-10 million women and girls suffer severe or long-lasting illnesses caused by complications in pregnancy and childbirth. 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries. These women do not need to suffer and die; most lives could be saved relatively easily. Pakistan has the fifth highest number of maternal deaths in the world; it is also one of the most dangerous places for a child to be born. 9,000 mothers and approximate 150,000 babies die every year within the first month of birth.
