Sierra Leone has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world, making it one of the most dangerous places to give birth. PIH believes no woman should die giving life.

With the Ministry of Health, PIH began improving the maternal care available at Koidu Government Hospital. The facility now has 24-hour electricity to support C-sections, a blood bank to respond to post-partum hemorrhages, and a fully stocked pharmacy in labor and delivery. Clinicians also receive trainings to improve their skills and provide better care to patients.

With your support, PIH will continue and expand this transformative work so that every pregnant woman can look forward to childbirth as a moment to celebrate, not one to fear. Will you join us in our efforts by donating today?
