According to the
World Health Organization (WHO), 200 million women become pregnant each year
worldwide. Of these, 287,000 die from complications of pregnancy, childbirth
and postpartum.
A significant
portion of these deaths (99%) is recorded in developing countries. These deaths registered
in developing countries, the Africa in the South of Sahara
totals 50%.
In Benin, the
maternal mortality ratio was estimated at 397 deaths for 100,000 live births in
2011. Maternal death is partly dependent on the level of socio-health
organization. This organization is partly dependent on the system put in place
to refer patients to referral centers where needed.
