The Right to Health of Women and Children

The Department of Maternal Newborn Child & Adolescent Health of the World Health Organization in August 2011, produced the video “WHO: Saving Mother’s and Children’s lives”. It highlights the expressive mortality rate of women pregnancy, childbirth and children, every year, despite of all efforts done to bring it under control. In fact, the most part of the deaths could be avoided. The availability and accessibility of the health care system would be the first step into the the Right to Health!

Millennium Development Goal 5 - MDG5

A Pregnancy brings life and Hopefulness, BUT

Up to 360.000 women could not die, every year, giving life IF

All births were attended by health professionals!

Adolescence is a time to prospect for healthy & successful future life, BUT

Education and confidential support’s lack had been endowed 16 million teenage pregnancy every year!

Millennium Development Goal 4 - MDG4

Reduce Child Mortality by 2/3

A Newborn brings Joy and Happiness, BUT

More than 3 million babies could not die in their first month of life, every year, IF

They have had essential newborn care!
