African Culture, Maternal Mortality and Morbidity

Más información sobre el libro

Women have about 15 to 20 percent chance of becoming pregnant between 20 and 35 years. They are also at a lower risk of disability from complications of pregnancy and child birth. In Ghana, cultural factors play a significant role in identifying factors that affect the level of maternal mortality and morbidity. Women therefore need to be educated about the dangers of some cultural practices that affect pregnancy.
