We started class by studying for the Canada map test, which is Friday. Then we continued with presentations.Maternal Health: Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio. Achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive health. More than 80% of maternal deaths are cause by different problems that could easily be prevented in places that they have the right care. 350,000 women die each year. 99% of the deaths happen in developing countries. Death rate is going down slowly, even though most can be avoided. Every year, over 1,000,000 children are left without mothers. Kids who have lost their mothers have a 10 times more of a chance to die early, rather than ones with mothers. Many unsafe home births in India. 100,000 die a year. National and state issue in all parts of the world. Between '04 and '06, the percetn of women that gave birth with help from a doctor, increased by 6%. In more regions, progress is being made. The UNPFA has assisted 30 countries with needs. 34 million friends of the UNPFA have donated.Next, our group presented, the guys gave their power point first, when they are done, and if there is class left, then I will go tomorrow. Class dismissed.
