Thank you for reporting on maternal mortality. It is an underlying reality that is not often mentioned. Giving birth is more dangerous than having an abortion.
Nigeria has an official language of English, and the Nigerians here speak English beautifully. Their English language novelists are great. But they have a profusion of local languages and they have much tribalism in th back country.
And don’t forget the shameful trend here in the U.S.! Significantly worse compared with 2000 - and disproportionately killing women of color (that data not shown here but available from CDC).

Very worthy subject, and good to focus the whole letter on this.
Isn't it remarkable that Africa is the by far most dangerous place to give birth, and the only continent with a growing population.
