Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s maternal mortality rate continues at
an unacceptably high level. While maternal mortality figures vary widely by source and are
highly controversial, the best estimates for Bangladesh suggest that approximately 25,800
women and girls die each year due to pregnancy-related
complications. Additionally, another
516,000 to 774,000 Bangladeshi women and
girls will suffer from disabilities caused by complications
during pregnancy and childbirth each year.
