We
have an opportunity to focus global attention on what should be obvious: every
mother, and every child, counts. They count because we value every human life.

and prosperous communities and nations.
"...thousands
of women could be saved each year if they had access to skilled care during pregnancy
and childbirth, and access to emergency obstetric care. Most of the interventions
they need are simple, affordable, and highly effective."
"Our
message today is one of hope. It is about potential waiting to be fulfilled: the
surest way to meet the global challenges we face now and in the future is to make
every mother and child count."
