health care can play a significant role in spotting early signs and performing accurate diagnoses
to save the life of either the mother or the child.

pregnancy. Hence, the health care institution, in partnership with both the government and non-

Discussion
According to UNICEF description, Maternal mortality refers to deaths attributed to
childbirth or any pregnancy complications. Maternal mortality is a sentinel event that truncates to

goals and ideal reproductive care. With increased healthcare quality and widespread availability
of healthy foods, and increased knowledge and awareness on pregnancy health, it is expected
that the mortality rate in pregnancy would be low. However, about eight hundred and seventeen
women lose their lives daily with causes related to pregnancy and childbirth globally (World
Health Organization). Pregnancy-related deaths have been a major challenge that has been
affecting the medical fraternity. In addition, medical practitioners have done all their best to find
solutions to the challenge. Several factors have led to maternal deaths. Some of the cases are
human-made, while others are due to complications in the person’s body. Moreover, some risk
factors are associated with pregnancy. Hence, the health care institution, in partnership with both
the government and non-governmental should create awareness to prevent some of the causes.
The responsible parties ought to understand some of the causes and the risk factors to maximize
the prevention of pregnancy-related deaths.
The rate of pregnancy deaths is unacceptably high for women in Africa and poor Asian
communities, and the reason has been attributed to economic disempowerment. The article
Lifetime Risk of Pregnancy-Related Deaths among Zambian Women gives a detailed study of the
actual state of maternal healthcare in Zambian districts. It focuses the study group on including
women between the ages of fifteen and forty-nine years. The figures prove that every fifteen-
