336 per 100,000 mothers die in childbirth, 27 children per 1000 live births die before they have a chance to live (within the first 28 days of life), while 64 children per 1000 live birth die before age five. Poor women & children are the most vulnerable as they lack access to quality healthcare such as ANC services, skilled delivery, vaccination, EMOC or nutrients all of which save lives. This is especially true in deprived rural, slums and in fishing communities. Women, Children & Girls often lack access to care or information during pregnancy, labor and the postnatal period.
Maternal & Child Health
Despite of the progress in reducing maternal, neonatal & child mortality, far too many women and children in Uganda continue to die from entirely preventable pregnancy related conditions and illnesses.
