Kenya
Kenya’s maternal mortality rate continues at an
unacceptably high level. While maternal mortality figures vary widely by source and are highly
controversial, the best estimates for Kenya suggest that approximately 14,700 women and girls die
each year due to pregnancy-related complications. Additionally, another 294,000 to 441,000 women
and girls will suffer from disabilities caused by complications during pregnancy and childbirth
each year.
