MOTHER'S Day is an occasion to pay tribute to our mothers for all the love and care they have given to us selflessly all these years. They have nurtured us, been with us through good and bad times, showed us right from wrong and made us who we are today.
Around the world, millions of women give life to healthy babies and are able to enjoy the experiences of motherhood. However, for some women, childbirth and raising children is fraught with challenges. In fact, every year, approximately 350,000 girls and women die from pregnancy-related causes. Almost all of these deaths (99%) occur in the developing world.
