A really interesting in-depth article in The Guardian about the appalling inequalities in Childbirth health care between Sweden and Niger can be found here .
Food for thought:
The chance of dying in childbirth in Sweden is 1:29,800.
In Niger, it is 1:7
It isn`t right and it isn`t fair.
Women in the developing world often suffer horrific childbirth -induced injuries, which are incredibly rare here in the West, which is one of the reasons I support Ethiopiaid, (click on the link to Fistual Hospital ), a charity which in turn helps to fund the wonderful Fistula hospital in Addis Abbaba, where they treat some of the horrific childbirth injuries sustained by the equally unfortunate women of Ethiopia.
