On World Health Day, Let's Think about Women and Children's Health: Covid 19 is not an equal opportunity virus

Those who live in poverty and with social marginalization are at greater risk of mental and physical health problems. All around the world, we are seeing that the most vulnerable people are at greater risk of living with and dying of Covid 19.

These kinds of vulnerabilities play themselves out in maternal mortality as well. Every day, we lose about 800 women during childbirth, mainly from preventable causes. We can do better and it is vital that we do better. When we lose mothers, their existing children inevitably struggle. They have lost their strongest advocate and the person who loves them through thick and thin.
