Concern over high maternal deaths in Uganda

Women leaders in Uganda have shown concern over an increase in maternal deaths.

They say as the country celebrates 50 years of independence, more mothers are dying due to poor reproductive health facilities.

The concern was raised by the speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly Margret Zziwa during the opening of the National Women’s’ Week.

She however lauds government for continuous efforts to save pregnant mothers though several women are still facing challenges regarding access to quality health care.
