One death every seven minutes: The world's worst country to give birth

In Nigeria, one woman dies giving birth every seven minutes, making it the world's most dangerous country to give birth. Factors contributing to high maternal mortality rates include poor health infrastructure, a shortage of medical professionals, and cultural beliefs leading to distrust in hospitals. Initiatives like the Maternal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative (Mamii) aim to address these issues, but experts emphasize the need for sustained funding and greater investments to prevent maternal deaths in Nigeria.
