Improve maternal health in Cameroon

Target 6: Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality rate
Improving maternal health is an important part of the program of reproductive health, which is itself one of the pillars of the Health Sector. It is indeed like the message says to avoid losing life giving life.
Maternal mortality includes all deaths related to pregnancy, childbirth and its aftermath. The Government has set up the program "reproductive health" which places particular emphasis on the health of mothers, adolescents and the elderly. The health of the mother is still assigned to the national level by many complications related to pregnancy or close to limited access to reproductive health care and the low use of contraceptive methods.
To this day, many women still die in trying to give life. Between 1998 and 2004, the maternal mortality rate for the whole country has gone from 430 to 669 deaths per 100 000 live births. Similarly, in 2006, the survey reveals that MICS3 nearly 75% of maternal deaths occur during delivery and during the postpartum period.
The lack of skilled health personnel, the emergence of many diseases such as AIDS, and poverty status of populations may explain this situation. Indeed, my proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel is declining between 2004 and 2006. At national level, it has dropped almost 3 percentage points from 61.1% in 2004 to 58.9% in 2006. This still leaves the fact that pregnant women have continued to be assisted in 2006, by TBAs (10%) or with family / friends (21%). This phenomenon is observed in more regions of the north and east. The weight of tradition and isolation, the main reasons to explain this phenomenon.Source: National MDG progress / INS / 2008.

Political situation
It is only after a political crisis due to return to multiparmisme in the 1990s and a hard economic crisis, the country is gradually recovering and economic growth is back. Cameroon is thus presented as an island of peace and stability in Central Africa. Qualified for the HIPC initiative, following the successful completion of three-year program of economic reforms agreed with the Bretton Woods institutions, the country should receive a significant discount debt to be converted into social programs.
