Maternal and Child Health
A key area of Rotary's focus aimed at keeping mothers and children safe in all communities around the World
Saving Mothers & Children
We protect mothers and their children to live and grow stronger by expanding access to quality healthcare, protecting them from disease and building sustainable health solutions
Mothers and their children can be some of the most vulnerable in our society.
More than 800 women die every day as a result of complications during pregnancy and birth.
Even after children are born, lack of access to healthcare, nutrition and clean water and put them at risk.
In fact, 70% of deaths among children under the age of five happen within the first year of their life.
The factors which impact on maternal and child health can be vast. That’s why Rotary projects are so wide-reaching.
We provide immunisations and antibiotics to babies and improve access to essential medical services.
Our projects ensure sustainability, we help train local health professionals to empower them to take ownership of their care programme
We also tackle other problems such as malnutrition, poor sanitation and lack of access to clean water all of which can be prevented.
