Every two hours in Kenya, every single day, a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth. To put that in perspective, between the time you have breakfast at 7 am and 10 o’clock tea, two women will have died due to pregnancy-related complications. According to the National Alliance Secretary of Health, an estimated 5,000 women in Kenya die annually during pregnancy or delivery. Other statistics indicate a higher number of up to 8000 deaths annually.
