 *Every minute a woman dies during pregnancy and childbirth. Newborns are
more vulnerable. *

*Together we can prevent these silent tragedies.*

 *Dear all,*

*On the occasion of Mother's Day 2010, we invite the global community to
support our efforts to provide quality facility care to all women and
newborn.*
* We will ensure that:

- Quality skilled care is provided for all women during pregnancy,
childbirth and the immediate postnatal period.

- Facilities in communities and districts have required skilled staff and
are equipped with key supplies and vital commodities needed to save women's
and newborns' lives.

- Care to pregnant women to manage life-threatening complications and reduce
pregnancy-related mortality and morbidity.

Mothers and their newborns around the world should thrive and celebrate many
Mother’s Days in the years to come.  Click on
