The World Bank estimated that a total of 3.00 US dollars per person a year can provide basic family planning, maternal and neonatal health care to women in developing countries.[2] Many non-profit organizations have programs educating the public and gaining access to emergency obstetric care for mothers in developing countries.
The services needed are said to include:
Routine maternal care for all pregnancies, including a skilled attendant (midwife or doctor) at birth
Medical training for traditional birthing attendants might be one way to help provide this service.[citation needed]
Emergency treatment of complications during pregnancy, delivery and after birth
Postpartum family planning and basic neonatal care
Educating women and their communities about the importance of maternal health care, and according women the social status to make health care decisions and seek medical attention.
Any form of education, even 6 years worth of education for girls can drastically improve overall maternal health (UNICEF)
Research on social and psychological factors affecting maternal health
Development of better interventions (and evaluations of interventions) for complex problems (e.g., behavioral, social, biological, cultural) arising in marginalized communities
