                    [Summary] => The Department of Health (DOH) has built 25 health facilities across the country for mothers and pregnant women.


These facilities were built as the incidence of maternal deaths has risen to 10 every 24 hours, or 180 per 100,000 live births.


Most of the deaths, which run to thousands, occur in remote areas and among low-income families, whose access to health care is constrained economically and geographically.

                    [Summary] => Alarmed by the high incidence of women’s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth, the Department of Health is mobilizing local government units (LGUs) and other sectors in a concerted campaign to solve that problem.


The DOH launched the campaign amid the urgent need for clear, substantial and long-range interventions to improve the overall health, nutrition and family status of women.


Studies show that 10 Filipino women die every 24 hours from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Most are in the rural areas and of low income.

                    [Summary] => The Women’s Health and Safe Motherhood Project (WHSMP) has stepped up its campaign in promoting safe motherhood through obstetrical inputs and maternal nutrition.


The project, now on its final phase, was initiated some five years ago to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity, support efforts at the local level to provide women’s health services to targeted groups of women, and, at the national level, to strengthen the Department of Health’s capability to support local government units (LGUs) in carrying out these services and activities.
