About Oxfam's Maternal Mortality Campaign

Knit a patch for our giant baby blanket and demand world leaders meet their promises to provide decent health care for the world’s poorest people.

For every mum, the day her child is born should be the happiest of her life. Yet, in the world’s poorest countries, many mums don’t survive to look after their babies.

In the next minute, lack of access to health care will claim the life of another mum. In a year, half a million mums die because of poorly equipped hospitals, or because they can’t afford to pay health care fees.

World leaders have promised to end this travesty by providing enough aid to deliver the medical services needed, but as things stand they’re falling well short.
