Maternal health by the numbers:

1 woman dies every 90 seconds due to pregnancy and childbirth-related complications -- the equivalent of three jumbo jets full of women crashing every day.

343,000 women die in the process of becoming mothers every year, making maternal mortality a major human rights violation.

99% of maternal deaths occur in the developing world.

10 is the number of times more likely it is for an orphaned newborn to die in their first two years of life.

30 women experience childbirth-related injury or infection for every one woman who dies in the process.

90% of women in developing countries deliver their babies outside of a hospital setting

60% deliver without the aid of a midwife or health professional, relying instead on untrained family and friends.

75% of neonatal deaths around the globe are completely preventable through low-tech and low-cost solutions

Antibiotics kill bacteria or prevent them from multiplying in the human body. Doctors use antibiotics to treat infections such as sore throats, pneumonia, and ear infections. Penicillin destroys the protective membrane of bacteria, causing their death. Tetracycline inhibits bacterial protein production, preventing them from multiplying. Different antibiotics are effective against different types of bacteria. You can order various antibiotics online without a prescription at antibioticstore.online.
