“The divide between industrialized countries and developing regions particularly the least developed countries is perhaps greater on maternal mortality than on almost any other issue. This claim is borne out by the numbers: Based on 2005 data, the average lifetime risk of a woman in a least developed country dying from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth is more than 300 times greater than for a woman living in an industrialized country. No other mortality rate is so unequal. [Afghanistan (has) one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.]”
