When reading the article below, I was shocked and disappointed. Some of the things i did not know that going on around the world was happening. I research many other countries. When reading this article it stood out me. These are my people that dying. It hurt me to even see them this way. Unlike the natives in Africa, our US citizens have doctors and people to help make child birth comfortable as possible. Many of these women have to no doctors no one to even help them through this experience. That is why there children are dying because of lack of treatment. This is very important in the form child development.I know many natives of Africa does not have proper prenatal care which is very important. The fetus need as much nutrients as possible. Not having enough medical attention can cause death.
** Africa childbirth deaths too high **
African women are 175 times more likely to die in childbirth than Westerners, a UN report says.

Access to medical care is very important. I feel very fortunate to have access to the things we do here in the US.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the healthcare in this country is better than in other countries. I also believe that the United States spends more money on educating people about prenatal care...not just the care itself. That is important thing because just because the care is there, if people do not know enough to access it, it doesn't matter how good it is.
