BIRTH IS A DREAM - Maternity in Africa
Every year in Sub-Saharan Africa 200.000 mothers die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth.
A mother's death is a human tragedy, affecting families and communities. Her death endangers the lives of a surviving newborn and any other young children; a mother's death makes it harder for the family to obtain life's necessities and escape the crush of poverty.
A great many of these deaths are preventable, when women have access to quality prevention, diagnostic, and treatment services.
"Birth is a dream" is a documentary video which aims to document and raise awareness about the maternity crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa.
